HI! I am a newly-wed and my husband and I were wondering how long after surgery did people start having sex? :-)

Thanks!

I waited till I was out of the hospital...

I waited about 3 weeks, I wanted to make sure and not pull anything. It went fine with no problems.

HA! That's friggin' awesome!

The literature provided by the bariatric practice I go to said "four weeks." That seemed a bit drastic so I brought it up with the surgeon. He said to wait at least two weeks and to be "gentle" so as not to do any internal damage. When I had my gallbladder removed last summer we lasted about three days...

Congratulations on your marriage!

We waited about 3 days as well...use pillows, they help!

Exactly one week and even that was sheer torture. WTF with the 4 weeks??

4 weeks?!? I would have died (or something) I didn't even wait one week after my tummy tuck!

There is all kinds of sex.....if one position hurts try another <wink> Congratulations on everything........

That much is obvious with your less than a day wait time after banding. LOL I think that's great, though. If I hadn't been in pain, I think it would have been about the 2nd or 3rd day. Of course, it didn't help that DH was doing his best to frustrate me.

I was in hospital for 3 days 2 nights when I was banded... Here in Oz we don't usually get to go home the same day! (although I wanted to go home after the first night, desperately, and would have coped just fine, but 2 nights were Dr's orders...)

And I didn't have the pain that a lot of people talk about. I guess I was just lucky.

I would have gone crazy in the hospital. I don't like being there at all. I was begging to leave 2 hours after my surgery was over. So, yes - lucky on the pain (I'm so jealous); not so lucky on the hospital stay. I probably would have needed to get laid upon getting out, too! LOL

We asked my surgeon at the info session - he said whenever you want! He doesn't want to be the one to stop you from intimacy LOL

About a week. But not to say my husband tried earlier.

You all crack me up!
