Hey all! Congrats on your hard work and your new life! My surgery is scheduled for sept 30! One week! And I have a few questions:

What was sex like after the procedure? How long before you could do it and what birth control were you using?

Also I know this may sound strange but for people who have lost a lot of weight does the sex feel different? Does the loose skin issue also affect your vagina or vaginal area?

Sorry for the strange question didn't know where else to ask.

My doctor told me as soon as I wanted. I would have felt "ready" after four or so days, but I was staying at my sister's and my boyfriend was 300 miles away so I didn't do it until I was about two weeks out. As far as birth control, I don't use any or need any since my 41 year old eggs are all used up.. I know for most women even if they were previously infertile, they need to be careful after surgery because weight loss can resolve fertility issues.. but there isn't anything that can be done once your eggs are no longer viable.

Oh hunny,

You can have it as soon as you want! And it's even better if you do it with someone else!!

And skinny sex! Yes buttercup it's even better.

You are able to hit all the spots just right even if there is a little extra skin!

U asked so I'm telling! I will be 2 wks post op tomorrow & my husband & I did it this weekend. I am of course off my birth control pills so we used a condom. Even as a single gal I always had my pills as a back up to a condom so I was nervous! We laughed that we both acted like 2 nervous 16 year olds their first time. He will be getting snipped soon, our family is complete but it was kinda funny we were both nervous with just the 1 method!! I held up fine, no pains or anything! :-)

      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. 🤞
