I am a bit embarrassed to ask this question but here it goes.

How long do you have to wait after surgery before having sex again...???

Just curious to know..Thanks in advance.:shades_smile:

lol dont be! That was the LAST thing on my mind.. at the time!! lol We waited till almost 2 weeks post op. As long as your not in pain I assume its okay!! it was for me.. HEE HEE

We waited until my staples came out, about 10 days.

didnt realize there would be staple thought just stiches...ty all for your replies! I appreciate it!!

As soon as you are comfortable!

I was asked to wait till I left the hospital.

Staples? never heard of anyone getting staples. Did you have a lap band or a gastric bypass?

As far as when -- whenever it doesn't hurt when you try. I didn't even think about sex for 2 weeks myself - but then I had a lot of port pain.

Some surgeons use staples to close the incisions.

We waited until I got home.

Seriously, I felt fine the day I was discharged. I stayed overnight at the hospital and by the time I got home the next day was able to go for a walk and participate in "other" activities. Post op day 4 was the only day I really felt bad. Otherwise, if you are comfortable and don't get too "crazy", there are really no restrictions.

Well we shall we say "enjoyed each others company" within four days, but I wasn't that "active" of a participant. I was in the mood about 2 weeks after and was the initiator and my port hurt pretty bad the next day, working those abdominals wasn't such a great idea:lol:

After about a week I was good to go! :thumbdown:

I asked the same thing a few days ago and I heard different responses. One person said she waited up to 5 weeks and most people simply said they waited until they felt better. I am personally going to wait for at least a month, because I think it is going to be something I regret afterwards due to all of the ab work involved. Well...ab work is required on my part if I want to have a...um...religious experience. My surgery is Nov. 18th! Good luck!
