Sex

How long before I can get back to a sex life? My doctor said whenever I felt comfortable enough. So my thoughts in maybe 3 to 4 weeks. My surgery date March 22

I waited 1 week. But I felt good at that point. Just depends how you are feeling.

I was ok at about one week out but to be honest with you with everything that I had going on sex was the last thing on my mind! After about two weeks almost all of the pain was gone and I was feeling great. As someone else stated, as long as you do not get crazy with the "relations" you should be absolutely fine!

Sex can mean so many things....

Sex of a sort can happen pretty quick.

Just watch yourself and don't do anything that stresses your incisions or puts too much pressure on your abdomen.

Some folks are more creative than others.

No idea how some woman say they had sex so fast after surgery. I had bypass and no sex for at least 2 months . Everything hurt too much!


I had the sleeve and I wAited 3 weeks but I made sure I wasn’t in any discomfort or pain and made sure my boyfriend understood to start alow
