How soon post-op did folks resume regular sexual activity - specifically, intercourse?

I find my constitution is a bit unpredictable day to day and too much err.. movement.. can bring on nausea.

my doctor told me as soon as I wanted to. so, if nausea makes you not want to - then wait a while. or look for a time of day when you are not feeling the nausea. or you may find that you and your partner prefer gentle rather than vigorous for a little while and that's fine, because it's all good, eh?

Your body will tell you when you are ready !

My incision sites hurt for several weeks so me and my gf had to enjoy low impact closeness at first. I'm a month out now and I'm finally feeling back to normal. I had a little longer recovery though since I had my lap band removed before I had the sleeve.

Omg I'm sick of waiting but I can't even sleep on my side without pain let alone be on all 4's lmao

I waited two weeks

After one week I was having sex. Gentle and slow, but still good. Two weeks out and I'm good. My sex drive feels like it's increased as well with this surgery.

The NP recommended 4 weeks but I was comfortable at 2 weeks.

It was two weeks for me. I wasn't worried about the pain, I didn't hurt much. I didn't have enough energy. That's what made me wait.

Righto! Thank you all for sharing your (very private) experiences

I think it was after 3 days. Nothing too strenuous and we were careful not to hurt my incisions.

It was suggested to go for it when I felt ready or wait at least 2 weeks to be on the safe side.

Yeah, pretty much what everyone else is saying. Very carefully after 4 days, then back to normal after about 2 weeks.

We're depriving out bodies of food. I draw the line at sex.

Damn straight, especially in that adolescent phase with the hormone dump.

Close to TMI, but if you want to share pictures, feel free to PM

I wanted to give it a go just outa the recovery room. My surgeon had three med student interns with him.....one of them was drop dead gorgeous. I was smitten when I said something goofy and she smiled and laughed.

I gave it a few days before a test run. Wasn't able to maneuver so well due to the abdominal hernia that was repaired during the VSG.

If memory serves me correctly I was able to kick off the training wheels after two weeks and enjoy things.
