Loose Skin & Sex After Lap Band Surgery



Recommended Posts

Does it matter, does it get in the way, is it a turn off? How have you guys handled it and how have the partners handled it. Do you feel more self conscience with the loose skin?

I would have to say I sadly look like a Shar Pei puppy lol. But hey only 2 more years and then insurance will pay for it to be removed so yeah I dont like it. Does it get in the way not really maybe a little. Not sure if it is a turn off as being married I dont have too many women checking it out lol. Maybe some single guys can help ya a bit more with some of the questions. lol

Does it get in the way? Maybe a little but not nearly as much as my big fat belly did.

Don't know if it is a turn off, depends on how vain your partner is. Since I am married my wife doesn't seem to be turned off by it, of course she didn't really mind when I was 390 lbs either.

Do I feel self conscience. Not nearly as much as I did when I was at my maximum weight, of course I am not out to win any beauty contests and I really don't plan on showing up at the beach in a speedo either.

From a female perspective. Since the hubby lost over 90 lbs, he was a little self conscious of his "loose skin". I personally did not care, nor is it a negative, he is as much of a cheeky monkey now as he was before the weight loss....well now, I lie...he is more so now that he knows that I find him as sexy as ever and he has tons more energy...

Hey LarryPDot, you are looking good! I remember your first picture! congrats on losing those pounds!

Also from another female. My boyfriend has lost 150+ lbs since feb and still has another 100 to go. I don't mind the loose skin. Although I met him when he was 440lbs. I wasn't physically attracted to him when he weight that much. I was attracted to him mentally and emotionally. Now that he's lost a lot of weight the physical attraction is stronger but when we have sex it doesn't get in the way much at all. Only time I have a problem with it is when the extra skin at his belly when he lifts it it weird me out if he kinda flops it on me but usually he does it so I don't notice and I'm not bothered. Now that I have had the surgery I understand what he's going through. I love him and all his loose skin too!

It's not as bad as he used to do the belly flop because it used to drive me nuts but I eventually brought it up to him and he didn't even know he was doing it.. now he does it another way that i don't notice as much

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
