Sept. And Oct. Members Girls Talk Time...

OK Ladies, Is anyone feeling like having sex, or have you had sex yet? Is it different? Do you feel sexy and up to it yet? I had WLS Oct. 15, 2012 and my scars are just about gone. So I think that I will be trying it very soon...

I had sex on the 7th day and it has been a lot better!

surgiversary 10/09/12~235 lbs

My surgery is Tuesday and I'm just preparing myself for no sex for a while. I'll have a Blake drain for 2weeks and a gtube for 4 weeks so I already know it is going to be out of the question. I probably won't feel like it and my husband will probably be to scared to touch me thinking he will hurt something.

Well thought tht I would fine out last night but I didn't ;-( lol

I had surgery October 2, 2012 and have lost 36 lbs so far and I can already tell a difference! Sex is alot better! I think it is a combination of being able to move alot better and also confidence!

Is the g tube standard for your surgeon?

Yes it is, all has gastric bypass patient are required to have it for at least 4 weeks and he only removes it after you have proven you can get all your fluids and Protein in. I like that am going to have the security of it for the first month, so I dont have to worry about dehydration and not getting my protein but it is going to be a very uncomfortable month.

I had sex about two weeks out, it was a little painful...I am now almost five weeks out and have lost 66 lbs and sex is awesome, keeps getting better ;)

Wish I would have had one! It would have made things a lot easier. I've just never heard of it being routine. Best of luck to you!!!

OK... To be quite honest, EVERYWHERE on me was chunky if you catch my drift...lol. I used to call it Garfield (get it, fat cat.) Anyway...it has lost weight along with the rest of me. I'm down almost 40 pounds and can tell a BIG difference in sex! I was probably three weeks out the first time after surgery.

I know this is crazy but I am 5 days post op and did it last night it wasn't that painful but a little uncomfortable def save the tricks for Nextel couple of weeks ;)

I waited until four weeks after the surgery. Now that I am 4 months out.......it has been off the chain. My confidence was too high and I was flexible before the WLS. Now it's ridiculous. LOL.

  • 4 weeks later...

My doctor told me to wait 4 weeks too....that is what I did.....good luck

Well my fiancee is in Jamaica and hasn't seen me since February... He'll be here in January so by then I plan on being at least 20/30 lbs lighter than I am now... And I'll be ready to try out the "sex thing" lol!!!
