"relations" question (yeah that kind...)

I was just wondering around the site and I saw a post about no sex for up to 12 weeks after surgery and 2 weeks before? Did I miss this memo????  Guess hubby better have fun at his paintball tourny this weekend...cuz its the last of his fun for awhile.  LOL.

Who told you that?WHen you feel up to it you are good to go.As for before  WHAT????????????????Why on earth would that be?Someone must have a looney doc if that's what they were told.I think  I waited 2 or 3 weeks but mostly because my period was around for 2 weeks following surgery.Tell your hubby he shouldn't be too deprived lol

Well he will be really glad to hear that.  LOL (as am I)

I agree.. thats insane.. haha I had sex the night before surgery and about 3 weeks after surgery.  I've heard people who can have sex a couple days after surgery.  I was in alot of pain the first couple weeks so I waited.  You just gotta find positions that are comfortable and no pressure on the belly.  I am 6 weeks out now and have no problems with positions or pain at all.  :)

I was told to wait 6 weeks after... I told my hubby that the doc said 12 weeks LOL (I dunno... I just had major surgery, my hubby is around 400 lbs and I wasn't going to risk busting up something) It might have been the post on the main board that you saw that on.  We had "other relations" around 5 weeks because I couldn't stand waiting   Ask your surgeon what he/she recommends. -Janine

I had sex the 4th day home with the blessings of my surgeon

Thank you everyone!!  This makes me feel a bit better.   :) Although my dad is coming from NC to help me for like 2 or 3 weeks after surgery and I am not sure I could "seal the deal" with my daddy in the other room.  LOL

I felt "ready" at about 1 week out - but hubby was scared and I hadn't asked my surgeon yet....so at my two week appointment I asked - and my hubby was there and turned beat red.  She said "I've cleared you for the gym, I can certainly clear you for sex!  It's a good abdominal work out as well, so it will help you tone up"  Haven't had a problem since.....

Have fun!

I asked my surgeon this question during a pre op appointment, and he said, "Please wait till you're out of the hospital." Surgery did bring on my period, and then I felt sore and not up for it for a little while. I was probably three weeks out before we did the horizontal bop.

That would be torture!  It's bad enough to only have liquids, no sex would just be cruel!
