RNY and Erectile Dysfunction



Recommended Posts

Has anybody experienced being cured of ED as a result from the weight loss? I'm curious if anyone knows of this, I didn't ask the surgeon. I'll ask when I go to my pre op appt. I just wanted to see what everybody had to say about the subject

@@hectorlopez323 Go on over to the Men's Room and you'll probably find the answer - or get more replies. I believe that weight loss can improve ED. The other issue is that often ED is a result of medications you are taking for blood pressure and those can often be stopped after you've lost weight.

Here's the Link to the Men's Room forum...

Thanks I I didn't know there was a men's room. Got the app like 3 or 4 days ago. I'm going to look for it but so far these woman or mixed rooms have been very helpful and insightful. Tons of great advise.

Oh man, getting off of the BP meds took care of all of my problems. And of course the improved circulation helps of course. I was never diagnosed with ED, but I know there were times when the mid was willing but the body was not.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
