VDB 800 Posted July 13, 2015 Ditto for me, historically weight loss brought on increased libido...always wondered why the wife would start cooking extra caloric after a while Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigViffer 3,544 Posted July 13, 2015 This was actually one of the reasons that I went through with the surgery. With my high blood pressure and medication, sex was... lacking. My drive was low, duration was short, and the intimacy was not as intense as I wanted it. At 5 months post-op, our sex life is back to our early years and just general affection between us is up again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_2.0 22 Posted July 13, 2015 This is all very good news. My wife will be pleased to hear about this. I think I'll add sex to my fitness routine once I get sleeved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigViffer 3,544 Posted July 14, 2015 I was finally "in the mood" about a month out. But I had a few issues after surgery that slowed me down (partially collapsed lung and hematoma). It took me until the two month mark until my wife had to tap out. That hasn't happened in a long time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OKCPirate 5,323 Posted July 14, 2015 I'm single, so I had a while before I had an opportunity, it was about month. As I kept losing weight and got stronger it kept getting better and more rigorous. Now I expect things to go for 30 minutes or more. I am only dating women who work out, because a couch potato is going to have a tough time keeping up. 1 illailla reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 17, 2017 How many have shown no change? Been almost 3 months since surgery and I am still "meh" about it all. I know every body is different so adjustments and attitudes will change individually but there are so many who are showing positive responses I am wondering when the signs are supposed to kick in.

I know every body is different so adjustments and attitudes will change individually but there are so many who are showing positive responses I am wondering when the signs are supposed to kick in. I've found myself having significant changes with my libido at only 100 pounds less. While marriage is marriage and the wife and I can only do it so much with our busy lives, I've found the amount of times I'd fap going from once every few weeks to at least 3 times a week. My brain/hormones are definitely nagging me a lot more. Sometimes visual stimulation can help kick start things, and once you get going again I think the body will start expecting more and start nagging you too. 1 RomAnca reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
