Can I have sex after tummy tuck?

Nik_bklynmomof3
I just started with this site and I love it. But my question is how long after having a tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo can u have sex? I ask because after seeing the ladies stomachs the stitches the swelling and drains it's just like damn don't do anything for a year. How long does it take for your insides to heal? And what positions would be okay to do after having the work done? I hope these aren't stupid questions but I just had to ask.
