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:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
