*Sex after WLS?*

Okay, in my complications class with dr. duncan someone did ask the sex ?, well they said a week to 2 weeks just no lifting Hope this helps Nalani

Oh no, I thought the doc said two years. Was it two weeks? Just Kidding! I remember hearing something about two "weeks." I might have been talking at the time. Hugs, Becky

You make me laugh out loud girl, and I'm at work!! I told my husband that the doctor said two years (just kidding)!! Carol

No thanks necessary!!! I'm always willing to do my part to strengthen marriages. Dad had me grade papers from his sex ed. class (Christian college) for him as a young teenager. What a minute, I think it was called "Marriage and the Family." Needless to say, it may have adversely affected me. ;-( Hugs, Becky

Becky, You always manage to either make me laugh or smile. This time it was definatley a laugh!! DId Greg really fall for that? LOL Tonya

I'm not sure whether or not he fell. When he is in the inclined position, I try not to notice. Eye contact might give him ideas. I was taught NEVER to say I have a headache. Truly, that's the kind of things you learn when a parent gives marriage counselling. EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Here's a hint, if you really have a headache, avoid toe contact. Socks don't work! I am just kidding...I promise. Dear hubby is going out of town Saturday. I really think I have a headache. ;-( I have a feeling I may be in trouble with the board monitors. Sorry folks, but I was also taught that sex is a gift from God! Let's keep these little talks a secret, girls! Hugs, Becky

OMG - I have to cover my eyes and my ears!!!! All of this talk about sex!!! I'm such a good girl I'd NEVER do that....I'm not married....there's NO SUCH thing in my life as premarital sex!!!!! (I'm not sarcastic either am I?) My doctor said after a week things should be okay - but it would really be up to me and my partner.... I didn't have a partner at the time - waited a "bit" longer than a week...LOL Reminds me of an "embarrasing" moment I asked my doctor......I asked him how long I needed to wait to get back on birth control....and in the next minute (I'm Catholic..let me preface by saying he is too...LOL) I asked him how long I had to wait to receive communion at church. I thought he was going to fall over when I asked those questions back-to-back! Okay - now that I've told one of my "blonde moment" stories..... Post op sex is da bomb...so I've been told!

Speaking of BC...how long do we have to wait? And, I think I read someone's post saying that it might not work after WLS either. :o

With so many "new" forms of birth control that no longer have to be ingested I'd ask the female doctor to look in to those methods for ya!!! (The patch - the ring, shots...etc.) I was told that while we are in the "rapid weight loss" mode that we don't want to be on BCP because it causes extra hormones and can actually slow down the weight loss process. My doctor told me he didn't want me to attempt the pill again till I was 18 months out....which is still 2 more months away.... Good luck with it!!! Dee Dee

SEE IF YOU WERE LIKE ME TUBAL LOL THAT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM LOL BUT SEX IS TOO GOOD TO GIVE UP SO GIRL HOW LONG WAS IT B4 COMMUNION I MIGHT NEED TO KNOW THAT LOL
