Are you becoming more aroused?



Recommended Posts

I've found that since my banding, I've been becoming increasingly sexually aroused more and more. Sometimes I just can't get enough! My poor wife is complaining now! Are other people experiencing this at all?

Well, I'm still preband but I sure hope so!!! I'm glad you are the age you are, I'm 48 and was beginning to think it was over...lol

I am being banded on Jan 29 in Mexico, but I'll let you know if my hubby starts to complain~

I read this thread and immediately knew it was you. You crack me up:biggrin1:

I think its a natural reactio, you are feeling better aboiut yourself. I bet you are more comfortable in your body and have more energy

I also bet your new confidence and boosted self esteem make you more desirable to your wife too!

Whatever the reason, enjoy!!!!

Not more aroused. Never had a lack of arousal, but found that as I gained weight, there were some things I just couldn't comfortably do any longer. Now that the size is greatly reduced I'm rediscovering a whole new world of positions and ways to get all tangled up that my size kept me from being able to do for way too long. And DH loves it. "We haven't done THAT since we were dating!"

Oh yeah, and since DH and I are both banded and losing, it's one of my favorite NSVs. And it's a lot more fun then it was before.

Hormones are stored in fat cells... as the fat cells break down - you get flooded with whatever happens to be stored in there...

Just like being a teenager again, huh?

Have fun with it!

Body fat stores estrogen. The more fat you have, the more estrogen you have. This is why obese women are at higher risks for developing problems related to hormonal factors, including fibroid tumors, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, amenorrhea, breast cancer - even things like blood clots.

What specifically are you wanting to know more about?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
