Maintaining Erection



Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

It's been a year and a half since my surgery and I have lost a lot of weight, but seem to have an issue with maintaining an erection...

The sex drive is better but yet i find problems keeping a hard on, don't know if losing muscle could be a reason..

Would like to hear your opinions /advice

Thanks fellas

I would say this is a good question to take to a Dr. There are a lot of potential causes. Blood pressure, testosterone, medications, and of course mental issues. Ill be straight up honest I had a short bout with this. I was also having dizziness. It ended up being that I had lost enough weight that my blood pressure had improved and my blood pressure meds were making my blood pressure too low. My Dr. took me off and I have been 100% better.

Talk to your doc. It's not a muscle thing at all, it's a pressure and valve thing. I had some issues for a bit with the meds I was on, once I got off all of them, no issues.

      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.
