How has your sex life changed since surgery/weightloss?



Recommended Posts

SERIOUS question :)

Did it get better? worse?

easier. it got easier.

it's always been good, but the easier it gets to do the things I want to do, the more likely and more often I am inclined to do them. the more often I do them, the better it gets.

very happy with all the ways WLS has improved my life, this area right along with everything else.

Me too. It's easier, I can navigate more positions, and I feel better about myself and not so self-conscious. We even leave the light on now.

I'm pre surgery but I have to say that my wife majored in psychology with a large portion of the major being dedicated to abnormal sexualality. I swear that I'm a thesis paper in the making. We are quite passionate and sex is amazing. If it gets better than this I don't know if I will be able to walk again!

I've lost all sex drive it seems. Could be because I'm still early out. (5 weeks today).

I think it's because our hormones are all out of whack..I'm in the same boat as you at 5 months out. I'm hoping it returns soon

@@Tssiemer1 congrats on your surgery- I try to keep up with all the posts but I must have missed yours when you had your surgery. So happy for you. If I remember correctly you had a few bumps in the road that delayed your surgery a little bit (apologize if this wasn't you- I try to keep everyone's info stored in my brain and it's not as young as it used to be). So glad you are post op and doing good!!

Sorry for hijacking this thread!

BTW- sex is better than ever after surgery/weight loss.

Well, I'm unhappy that all my parts are now... deflated.

On the other hand, I can easily put my ankles behind my head. So that's a win.

It's better in every aspect.

Being all I can be and all that...........

It's simply not often enough and I find myself behaving more like a bull in a china shop.

For me ... it's ... worse :(

Before .. I just didn't want to be seen because of the weight ...

and now ...

I don't want to be seen because of all the skin hanging everywhere ...

Ugh.

My poor husband ... he doesn't know which way to go ...

Thank God he's patient ...

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
