I was not given any time restraints. It is probably up to your body. When
will you feel like having sex again? I would assume most people wait a
couple of weeks.

It will be one of the last things you will think about after surgery.

I think it's a matter of common sense. If you're having pain and not
feeling well you're probably not going to be interested, at least for a
couple three weeks. I think it also depends on if you have lap rny or open
rny. Open rny might earn you a longer delay. You don't want any pressure
on the incision.

I had open RNY and for me it was 7 - 10 days. It's up to the individual
and how "motivated" you are LOL! Main thing is listen to your
body and move slowly. If it hurts then stop and try again in a few more
days. We all heal at different rates. Also, you would want to choose a
position that will not put stress on your stomach.

i waited about 6-7 weeks. just make sure you are "careful". they
say because of all the hormones,you can be very fertile.

That's a new question...haha I know I didn't even think of it as much pain
as I was in. I have no idea when I finally did...But I'll tell you
what...The thinner I got the...bigger my husbands appetite! LOL His
appetite worked for me too! LOL

Even with a RNY Ie as time moves on. had sex a week after I was home. I
would have had it sooner but my side was sore where they attached my old
dsttomach. Watch out as they don't want you pregnet for a year. Enjoy as
there is less to lov

Well I think you should probably wait until you're out of the hospital.
Seriously, I remember being really tired right after my surgery but it
didn't take long for those thoughts and desires to return. My advice would
be to ask your doctor, then listen to your body. Take it easy and enjoy.
Best wishes for health and happiness.

I was told to wait 6 weeks, as long as the restriction on lifting more than
5 pounds. I was ready after 5 but certain possitions were uncomfortable.
The question is totally normal so don't feel funny asking. Just remember
that women who have the surgery have a burst of estrogen during rapid
weight loss and pregnancy is much more likely, so be extra careful.
Hope that helped.

I was told to wait two weeks. But like everyone is saying it depends on
your body.

My surgeon said, you can do it whenever you feel ready, but the average
time is 3 weeks.

Upon discharge that is something that was on the hospital discharge sheet,
it's just like having a baby, 6 weeks.

I just had my surgery a week ago and I was told not heavy lifting,
strenuous exercise or sexual relations for six weeks. Of course I don't
have any desire for sex right now anyway! LOL
