ROFL ROFL ROFL what a subject!!! I can honestly say that the first week post-op I was Def NOT in the mood. I was bruised, sore, and I felt cut up!!! Now I am 10 post op and of coarse once you do """" then you will get back in the groove again. Whats weird is when your significant other see's a big weight loss. Its kind of nice to hear "wow honey your butt is getting smaller" :confused:

People vary a lot, but what you are experiencing is very normal. Your body has been through surgery and it takes a while to get back to 100% physically, and even mentally!

Give yourself time~!!

That is too funny, now my hubby has been lementing over the fact my butt won't be as big anymore, but I keep telling him it is not going anywhere, I had a big booty when I skinny it is not going down... it is too funny to hear when he is ready for the deed... he gave me two weeks:lol: yea we shall see...

I think I was back somewhat in the saddle around 2 weeks post op and very carefully. LOL It's in full great swing now at almost 6 weeks post op. I continue to lose weight and gain confidence and it seems to spur the libido right along. :lol:

Wow, you were just banded. Give your body a chance to heal. I definitly did not have any at that point (in fact I still haven't lol). My libido is back but I still get sore when I bend at the waist so I am not ready yet. Give yourself at least a month.

It's only been four weeks for me and I might feel like having some fun mentally but definetely not physically! When I had my hysterectomy it was almost 9 weeks before we had any fun. My husband is very understanding (thank the lord!).

It'll just be better when you finally can do it! :):cool:

      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. 🤞
