Sex after surgery

[SLC46 0]

Sex is not as enjoyable as it was before my weight loss. Some areas have no feeling, sore pelvic bone, and low sexual drive. Anyone else have this problem?

If you are less than 4 months out, I wouldn't worry about it. You have undergone a major surgery!

If it has been longer than 4 months, then practice might help!

Did anyone receive any guidelines on when sex is "safe" after surgery? I am one week post-op but can't wait to get back to it.

I was told 3 weeks but I believe that is primarily for to pain management. If you feel up to it and are careful (and your partner will be careful too) I think you be fine.

It's not just pain management, it's your incisions. Consult your doctor. You risk opening your incisions if you do too much physical activity too soon. Sex affects the stomach muscles and that affects your incisions.

Your body and emotions go through a lot of changes. So do your hormones. Relationships change as well. Give it time.

My surgeon suggested 2 weeks post-op. My sex drive is through the roof. I am 2 weeks today, and have my 2 week follow up tomorrow. I'm still having a lot of tenderness on my right side, so I don't want to aggravate anything until then.
