Sex after Surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm alittle worried about my sex drive. I'll be 4 weeks out on Thursday and my desire for sex is GONE! Is this normal? Anybody else experience this? Does the desire come back?

Most guys see a pretty good rise in their desire as the hormones are diluted less by decreased body mass. Women seem to feel more desire but as we all know EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.

Wait a few weeks then ask the doc. There is a lot of stuff going on and your rapid decrease in calories is bound to screw up your chemical balance for a while.

Thanks! I have my 4 week follow-up appt this week. I'll mention it and see what he says. I just don't want this to be permanent.

Ok now, I know how many times we all talked about sex. My Pcp is sending me to see a psychiatrist for my sex drive! That should be fun. I got one papi and he doesn't mind giving it to me multiple times a day and everyday so I am not sure why it is a problem. Will keep y'all updated with my appt. dang sex is awesome. I am 30, sexy and flexible so what's the harm?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
