Don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask your doctor; he/she is the only one who knows what you went through , the extent etc; for safety sake, ASK - that is why you pay him; get your money's worth and ask each and every question that you need to; he/she puts his pants on one leg at a time , ask your physician - best of health to you this year! and have fun when you are given the green light! Life is too short!! Enjoy!!!

You should ask your surgeon about that. No one here knows how invasive your surgery was and any other medical issues you may have.

If you do it before the anesthesia wears off, it won't hurt at all.

Don't trust what people tell you on here, it is written on your discharge papers.

I would say that it should be safe considering whenever you feel up to "it". Or if your dr. states otherwise.
