when can we resume sex post op?

This they didnt discuss lol in pre op lol 

The medical staff would like you to wait until you are discharged from the hospital. 

You can resume your sex life as soon as you feel comfortable.  Laparoscopic surgery has a shorter wait time and fewer restrictions than open surgery.  

Carry on!

I happened to overhear a different patient in the adjacent room from me ask my doctor when he could resume sex.  The doctor said to wait a week post op and then do whatever is comfortable.  I remember feeling like absolute death at the time and wondering how in the world he could be thinking about sex.  But everyone feels differently post-op.  I waited a good 6 weeks.  But certainly that isn't necessary in terms of healing.  

I tried it too soon. The IV needle in my arm made it really hurt like hell.

I'm not a doctor Grim, or have I ever played one on TV. But I think you would have been fine and cured the pain if you would have just switched hands. 

I'd feel like I was being unfaithful.

Grim you should have hit the button. You would not have felt the pain. You might have fell asleep though.
