I've found that since my banding, I've been becoming increasingly sexually aroused more and more. Sometimes I just can't get enough! My poor wife is complaining now! Are other people experiencing this at all?

Well, I'm still preband but I sure hope so!!! I'm glad you are the age you are, I'm 48 and was beginning to think it was over...lol

I am being banded on Jan 29 in Mexico, but I'll let you know if my hubby starts to complain~

I read this thread and immediately knew it was you. You crack me up:biggrin1:

I think its a natural reactio, you are feeling better aboiut yourself. I bet you are more comfortable in your body and have more energy

I also bet your new confidence and boosted self esteem make you more desirable to your wife too!

Whatever the reason, enjoy!!!!

LOL, believe me I'm enjoying! A good stiff breeze seems to get me worked up now days. Threebeauties, you got my number it looks like! Whew. And Robin, you be sure to let me know now!

Not more aroused. Never had a lack of arousal, but found that as I gained weight, there were some things I just couldn't comfortably do any longer. Now that the size is greatly reduced I'm rediscovering a whole new world of positions and ways to get all tangled up that my size kept me from being able to do for way too long. And DH loves it. "We haven't done THAT since we were dating!"

Oh yeah, and since DH and I are both banded and losing, it's one of my favorite NSVs. And it's a lot more fun then it was before.

Oh I agree Lisah! So much better than mutual masterbation. Whew.

Hormones are stored in fat cells... as the fat cells break down - you get flooded with whatever happens to be stored in there...

Just like being a teenager again, huh?

Have fun with it!

Oh Jimboss...how did I know it was you who posted this?? Keep "up" the good work. Ha ha!

JDru you rascal! You and ThreeBeauties must think I'm a dirty old man? LOL. Well I gotta tell ya, Fred Sanford once said "I'll be a dirty old man till I'm a dead old man"! Just enjoying life darlin'.........................

Body fat stores estrogen. The more fat you have, the more estrogen you have. This is why obese women are at higher risks for developing problems related to hormonal factors, including fibroid tumors, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, amenorrhea, breast cancer - even things like blood clots.

What specifically are you wanting to know more about?
