“How long after surgery can I have sex?”
I'm a 22 year old girl and I had an appendectomy just last month (more like 4 weeks ago). How long after a surgery is it okay to have sex?

As long as you feel okay and up to it.
Whenever you feel comfortable. I treat sexual activity as any other strenuous activity. If the activity causes pain, don't do it. If you don't have discomfort, you are ok to progress.
For a smaller laparoscopic procedure (i.e. appendectomy, cholecystectomy), being the “passive” partner during sex should be fine after about 2 weeks. Being a more “active” partner should probably wait until ~4 weeks.
