I was looking at this surgery for weight loss but the added benefits are great.

My blood pressure improving so quickly is amazing.

I love my sleeve

What the heck is skinny sex? Lol

What the heck is skinny sex? Lol

Good question

Maybe some one can chime in but skinny sex is a term we coined here. For me, At my heaviest I couldn't get in certain positions like on top etc. Now my libido is higher and I'm less tired with 60lbs loss. Hope some one else will answer your question too with their opinion.

Thank you balleroom. That makes sense. My husband will love it. :-)

My 5 things:

1. I stopped snoring

2. I can tie my shoes like a normal person (no twisting into weird positions or holding my breath!)

3. I'm learning how to have a healthy relationship with food (it's not controlling my life anymore)

4. I have more energy to play with my kids

5. I love clothes shopping again!

3. Getting comments literally daily about how great I look now.

4. Saving money because I'm biking to work now instead of driving. It's 20 miles round trip and at 12 mpg, it's saving me $6 each day.

5. I fit into movie theater and airline seats and restaurant booths now without having to shoehorn my fat into them. It's fantastic!

WHAT?! No more ALLERGIES!?!? OMG, I have the worst allergies ever!! I never thought that they could be helped by the surgery! I am so excited to see if mine diminish/go away after my surgery in August! Thanks so much for sharing, and congrats on your weight loss!

2. No more shopping in the big and tall section.

3. I went from a size 54 pants to a size 43 and from a 3x to a large or extra large top depending on brand.

4. Having better, hotter sex.

5. I can complete cardio workout circuit without gasping for air.
