I just had gastric sleeve surgery and I'm pondering how long I should wait before having sex again. Anyone have experience with this?
Commonly, doctors recommend waiting on 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery to allow your body to heal properly. It's critical to pay attention to your body, though!
I waited on 6 weeks, just to be safe. I felt a bit uncomfortable firstly, but everything went well afterwards. It was a relief to get back to my typical routine!
Just keep in mind that everyone's recovery is not the same. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider on what's best for you.
That makes sense. Did you find any distinct positions more comfortable for the duration of the recovery period?
I did! I found side positions worked better for m'at first. It's all on finding what feels cosy as your body adjusts.
Agreed! Take it slow and communicate with your partner about what feels right. Recovery can be a bit tricky, but it gets easier over time.
