The answer is simple " resume your sexual life whenever you feel up to

it, and if any position hurts...change positions! "

Theresa,

I was thinking of posting a very similar question. I was wondering how

long until it was safe to resume the 'cuddling', esp since I had complicatins

with my incisions, and I still can not sleep/lay on my stomach without pain.

However, I was also wondering when the 'desire' would return. Seems as

though yours has. Maybe since it has only been a little over a week since

I felt like I have returned to a somewhat normal existance I need to be a

little more patient.

Dr. Hess was quoted once as saying at an informational meeting the following

when asked a question similar to this:

Well, we want you to get out of the hospital first!

Theresa,

You are only a few days post, so you may want to be very careful and take it

slow while " cuddling " . You would have the same concerns that a pregnant

woman has. Keep weight off the belly, there are many ....errr.. ways to

" cuddle " that will do this. If it feels good and doesn't hurt, go for it.

LOL

Just remember that you are losing weight ALL over. If you use a diaphragm,

it may not fit right any longer.

I'm not a doctor, but I remember when these things meant a lot.

unless they operated on " that " at the same time, I say if you feel

like it GO FOR IT!! And be thankful that you can. ).. I dont think

you'll hurt anything as long as you 'play it smart'.. maybe its your

turn on top.. lol..

Theresa,

That reminds me of a song...

" If it feels good, do it. Do it if it feels good! "

HUGS (but no cuddles),

[Guest guest]

Sherri,

I was " ready " in the hospital, but then, I was on Morphine!

Laughing... talk about the weirdest dreams I have ever had! Yikes.

Anyway, cuddling went fine, thanks to everyone who took the time to

respond. I appreciate their helpfullness. If ever there is a time

for a quickie, this was it! Oh, and a pillow was critical!

Hugs and hope you are feeling your old self soon!

Yep. I had the surgery in July of last year, and got married on December

16th (anniversary soon! YAYYY!)

So....lets just say I was motivated.
