LapBand = Better Sex



Recommended Posts

It just kills DH I would rather sleep than have sex...

I went through this initially too. Honestly, I still have my days when I am just too exhausted but lately it has been much much better. I am initiating it more and with my newly improved confidence and not to mention my improving flexibility,lol its been great.

Give yourself time. Just tell him that when your up to it you will make it up to him:wink2:

P.S. My most recent NSV-:thumbup: dh picked me up during to switch positions. Hello...PICKED ME UP! Two days later I still in shock but its made me think the best is yet to come...

I can agree with the getting comfy with the new you.... My skin is pretty saggy and to see my deflated streatch marks.... bouncing wild with me tends to lower my self confidence. Needless to say my fiance just got the band 7mo ago so he can relate to the body image issues.... regardless we are having fun and I have had more sex in the past 7 months then I did in 7 yrs of my messed up marriage.

Just give it time. My wife and I have been banded for 18 months now and I can tell that things are a lot better and I have notice a lot of changes as well. I would say it was about year out before I really notice the big changes that I see now. This is a great post.

It just kills DH I would rather sleep than have sex. It's just getting started is where the problem is. Once it's going on it's all good just getting to get to that point is almost impossible.

Anyone else dealing with this type of issue?

I had this a few years ago but it was because of my depression and also a side effect of medication. I am still that way now but because I am not ok with my body.

Well I can tell you that after losing 60 pounds, the hubby is enjoying sex more. Better posititions.

However, if there are any over 40 women out there. Then you may or may not have discovered a, how do I say it "lube" problem with your body. That didn't get better with the wieght loss. So any suggestions would be helpful.

My hubby did say that once I reach goal weight he was going to "bend me like Gumby"

Our frequency has doubled and I find it a little easier to orgasm. My flexibility is great since there is less of a gut there preventing my knees from touching my shoulders, and I don't feel as much like a whale when I'm on top. Before, my thighs would crowd his sides and cause some friction, making it a little uncomfortable for both of us and distracting me, also delaying orgasm. We have gotten a little more adventurous... just last week I propped up on the balcony at the top of the staircase while he went at it standing up :bored:! Someday I want to be light enough for DH to support my entire weight in a standing sex position, or even up against the wall (he's 6'3" and I'm 5'6"). Kama Sutra won't have nothin' on us!

      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.
