I don't know if I'll get blocked for talking about this but how long before you were comfortable having - AHEM, ya know. I'm afraid it will hurt. Hope that was censored enough.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It depends on when you feel up to it, my surgeon never put restrictions on that. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS: HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL IS NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME, AND WE ARE VERY FERTILE FROM HORMONES THAT WERE STORED IN THE FAT WE ARE LOSING RIGHT NOW. My surgeon, doctor, phyc, nut, NOBODY, ever mentioned this to me so I was scared out of my mind when I learned it here. We have to use other forms of birth control during this rapid weight loss.

Default 2 weeks is the rule

Usually the doctor says 2 weeks, however sometimes they say it all depends on how you feel. For me, I couldnt wait two weeks lol. I think I lasted 10 days.... boy were they a long ten days lol

I think it was a few weeks for me. Everything was fine. I was nervous too but it was like getting back on a bike or a horse.

I had to wait for about 6 weeks since I still had my drain tube in me. But there were no problems what so ever after that. I must admit that it is definately different with some of the weight gone. I dont know about anyone else, but it actually hurts me a lil now.

I can tell you it's not nearly as traumatic as after my hysterectomy last year! Just go slow and listen to your body. And Kim, I think you're not alone in your experience - you'd think after 25 years I'd know what to expect but, things are changing.....

I was told to wait a month but I also couldn't wait and everything was fine. I don't have any children and my husband has had a vasectomy so I have just continued using the birth control and not worried so much about it. I have noticed that the um...increased interest for myself is there. Like, I can see it becoming like the new addiction of my life. I wonder if it's like that for anyone else?
