When you are feeling like you are up for some, then you can try for some. BUT, take things slow and easy and make sure that your partner knows that if things don't feel right, you are shutting down the whole operation. My husband and I probably tried after about 3.5 weeks. With this resection, nothing has been the same as my other resections and I just haven't healed, so its been a bit hit or miss. But with my 3 other resections, I was fine by that point. Just take it slow and your body will tell you if you are OK.

I actually had my surgeon let me know when it was safe to try again...granted my husband at the time (ex now) wanted nothing to do with touching me especially when I had the ostomy...also made me wonder all those days I was in the hospital and he was leaving way before visiting hour ended if he was with someone else but hey ...I think they told me 2 months post op but that was back in 08 so I dont really remember. It might be something you should ask your surgeon if you feel comfortable that is if not maybe call your GYN and inform them of the situation

That sucks it is going to drive my husband and I crazy we can't even go a week without sex barely oh well if it needs to be done it needs to be done in my case in particular as I now have a history of rectal cancer. The first time was a polyp and this time it was a new mass about 2-3 cm big and 15 cenitmeters above the last area where the polyp and much easier surgery was done.
