Women....painful sex after WLS?



Recommended Posts

I was getting intimate with my fiancé last night and upon entrance, it hurt like a m***f*****. There was foreplay and stimulation but for some reason I couldn't get ... You know... It even burt my fiancé. Has this every happened to anyone before? I'm 12 days out of surgery, incisions don't hurt anymore.

Maybe your body is telling you it needs more time before that particular activity

I don't know that I've ever seen that as a side effect of surgery

HOWEVER, there are a lot of crazy hormones post surgery and hormones play a huge effect. Next time have some ky on hand or coconut oil to help things along. I'd say if it was just an issue of dryness that should help make things more normal.

Very dry. No matter what we did, didn't help. I'll look into a good lubricant, maybe it is my hormones, could it be dehydration? (Seems crazy to me but ya never know.)

I can't answer that because had my husband tried any monkey business that soon after surgery the only thing that would have hurt would have been his face and pride. Ummmm NO! I'd say give it some more healing time. Your brain may say yes but even your vajaja is like "hell to the NO!" I'd listen to your body!

Yeah this happened to my husband and I. I am 3 weeks post gastric sleeve... Once we started having sex, it hurt, the deeper he went. Never had that problem prior to surgery. I have no problem with dryness. I figured either I had to poop, or my intestines were still swollen on top of my uterus and cervix area. My incisions do not hurt, and are almost healed. You can barely see them. Told hubby, we need to give it a few more weeks...

Maybe you have a yeast infection. Seriously...when we change so much up from our norm our bodies take a hit. Our immune systems do too.

I say this from personal experience. I never ever had a yeast infection my entire life. Until march. And again april. I went in and saw my gyn. She said my immune system is low.

Its probably a mix between dehydration and hormones. I know after a rough night of drinking - me hungover and dehydrated, and him ready to go like a dog in heat in the morning, my body says no no no - get off me. Haven't tried it yet after the sleeve, but if I was you I would put it on hold, or just grab some lube and have a try at it again. Also yeast infection is very possible, I started to have one, but thankfully it passed without needing attention.

      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. 🤞
