Amen, if men are doing it, or want to do it. They don't see all the flaws you see. They want to make the woman they are in love with feel good. Relax and enjoy it, either that it they are doing it wrong LOL

I lost 50lbs the first three months and then my ex-wife asked for a divorce.... In short, Sex drive comes back LOL.

Had the Lapband in September 2008 lost 185lbs over the next 2 years. In oct of 2012 Lapband was removed because it was tearing into my stomach. I lost 8 pints of blood and spent almost 3 weeks in the hospital. Now I have to live without it and its really hard. I'm only up 8lbs from my "normal weight" but I'm starting to slip in old habitats.

I'd go sleeve if I ever have too, but the goal is to try and not need it.

All the doctors I spoke to said the sleeve is much easier on your stomach. I really had zero problems with the band. I would tell anyone that has it not to fill it to the max maybe 75%.

Strangely I didn't really feel anything different. I little weird gas pain but it was normal. Basically just started to feel like I was gonna pass out. Like I was drunk. I didn't see black stools until that day. One of doctors blamed it on taking naproxen and aspirin together which can cause ulcers.

I've lost so much weight I'm not a candidate anymore.... I still have about 30lbs to my goal weight. I'm going to keep trying, it's been almost 6 months. But I know when I feel myself slipping into excuses.... Just gotta buckle down

It's a temporary setback, I know I'll get past it. Just tough. I came home from work an was felt dizzy, thought maybe I didn't eat enough went to the bathroom noticed black stools as I walked out felt like I was drunk and fell down. The next morning I went to the doc and he told me I was bleeding internally. No real pain, feel great now. It took months to feel normal. Just need to keep using my tools I've learned in the past 5 years and stay active.
