TMI question .... Sex

[Snowbutterfly]

I know I can ask my surgeon this question but i find the answers I get here are more realistic.
My surgery (VSG to DS conversion with resleeve) is on Tuesday May 2nd.
How long post op were you able/cleared for sex?

I have this same question, so thank you for asking it. *awaits answers from those who know*

Cleared at 6 weeks but my libido had other ideas. It decided to desert me (going on 63 so age does factor in as to how your body reacts regardless of WLS or not).

Assuming there are no Olympic type extreme sex adventures going on...whenever you want! General rules still apply, if it hurts, don't do it!!!

Lol, good point. Pain isn't my idea of fun anyways.

I was told "as soon as I feel like it", so if it's on the hospital gurney, make sure you shut the door in the hospital. Kidding aside, incisions and such will be sore for some time, so just let pain dictate. If it hurts, stop or change what your doing.

Haha, don't tell my hubby that, it would give him ideas. Thanks for answering

6 weeks? That seems like a long time, not sure the bf will love that idea. I guess we'll have to get creative.

Didn't bother us at all. Mainly cause dh was only 5 weeks ahead of me.

I was told "you're not having surgery there" so whatever/whenever you feel like it. I didn't feel like it for a few weeks, and then my poor Hubby was paranoid about me hurting. I assured him I would LET HIM KNOW!

Haha that's a good way to look at it. After my VSG my surgeon/team didn't want me doing anything that would cause trauma to my tummy (he had a patient who popped her stiches when hitting against a shopping cart so he's extra carefull). I just can't for the life of me remember how long he said.

As a man who will have been married for 29 years come 6/18 I have to ask what is this sex thing you are talking about?

I had surgery on the 18th of this month. At my 1 week follow up I was told I could whenever I felt like it, but to try not to get pregnant for 18 months. That was their only word of caution.
