I forgot to ask my Doctor during my follow up, How long after WLS you can start having sex? I am 11 days post op and my man is seriously questioning me lol.

The most common answer that I see on these forums, and my doc's position on it, is simply "when you feel up to it." Obviously, no swinging from the rafters for a while, and you need to watch your positions, but any that allow for comfortable engagement is fine - there is nothing inherently damaging to your surgery from the consequences of your fun.

My surgeon advised not to do it in the hospital room! I guess because of cameras. That never deterred me before ;-) :-)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
