My Dr. said to wait 6 weeks.

SIX WEEKS? Your doctor is a sadist. LOL, interesting to hear the different answers from different doctors to the same questions...

I have plenty of drive, but have been mostly impotent (too flacid for intercourse) due to the 15 pills I take every day for Diabetes and High Blood Pressure.

After my surgery and I loose 100 pounds AND stop taking most of the medication, might my erections become sufficient for sex?

I am 62.

My wife is all for it (the surgery AND a new, harder me. :-)

I can't tell you what your results will be. But, a gentleman friend of the family was in a similar situation and he and his wife were very pleased with the way things went after he has his sleeve surgery. I'm sure your doctor can give you realistic expectations based on you medical history.

Doctor said when I felt up to it. (That would've been day 10 ;) ) Hubby said my libido is at an all time high. Little does he know it will get a lot higher. LOL.....

He said can I start exercising at 4 weeks so that makes no sense.

He included oral in the 6 weeks to..Lol

Hmmm... that sounds... bizarre. Maybe he's not getting any so he doesn't want anyone else to? LOL

That's one doctor's directive I'd probably just... well... cheat ;)

Hey! It burns calories!

My drive before surgery was fine....the actual act wore me out and it wasn't that involved! LOL I waited 2-3 weeks after surgery, I just didn't feel like it, but since then, we've had a LOT of fun! My old lingerie is fitting again and all the estrogen dumping (it's stored in fat) has put my drive in over-drive!! Watch out DH! LOL! Have I mentioned that I love my sleeve??!!

I have basically zero sex drive, but I am not sure if this began shortly before the surgery or only right after. But it was definitely right around my surgery time that I started having these problems.

ROFLMAO! hahahahahahhaa!

You're such a nut! and don't think it escaped me that you're also wanting someone to ply her with alcohol for you as well. I hope that's a chocolate martini!

ohman...I giggle-snorted just as I was taking a sip of Gatorade. If I have red boogies later I'm calling your wife and telling her the dr said NONE for you this week! LOL

Did he clarify if that was giving or receiving? B)

I think I waited like 2 weeks and I didn't mind it...keep in mind I've been married 20-some years so it was no big deal for me. The hubby on the other hand....was a big deal for him lol

My "drive" hasn't increased so much BUT I'm on a lot of meds that hamper it so that's no surprise. I know when we do have sex now I feel more confident in myself and so it's better than it has been in years.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
