Sex. Seriously how long after surgery should I wait?



Recommended Posts

Sex was never a problem for me. I’m just wondering how long did you guys wait to start having sex again. I’m 3 days out, probably to soon...

My Dr said ok to go at 4 weeks!

8- days Pffft! 4 weeks! I would never be able to wait 4 weeks. Just sayin'

How sore are your incisions - abdomen? I would go by that. No gymnastics and no crazy positions.

I suggest side-by-side or some other 'not much full frontal' contact position. You can always abandon the attempt ya know and go for a 'different' creative finish.

Wait?? Why would anyone wait! ☺️ J/K I say once the pain stops the fun starts. I have two children both born by cesarean and boy did I not wait 6 weeks. Bad bad me 😂

Thanks for the ideas. There is no way I’m waiting 4 weeks. Honestly my soreness just feels like I did an intense an workout.

I'm sure the recommendation to wait is just like exercise, to allow a full recovery and prevent a hernia.

However, I imagine the time period in the real world is different for everyone.

Being overweight has definitely impacted my libido so 4 weeks is probably a shorter period than what our current rotation is. lol Hoping this surgery helps me get back on track.

      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!!
