My sex drive has been extremely low since becoming pregnant nearly 5 years ago. Has anyone experienced an increase in their sex drive since being sleeved?

I'm only 11 days post-op, but I am counting on it. If nothing else, I will be more flexible and not so fatigued from hauling this pony I am using for a belt. Plus, my bariatric physician changed my depression med from Sertraline to Buproprion (generic for Wellbutrin). One of the welcome side effects of Wellbutrin is that many people feel more uhhh frisky. I am ok with that.

Non-existent. I was very active before, and, now, nothing. I don't think it's connected with the surgery, maybe just the emotional roadtrip that comes with the surgery and weight loss. HOWEVER, I still have to do it to satisfy my hubby and he's loving the weight loss. Said things sure are getting easier.........lol

I will say this about the whole sex issue...When you lose the weight, you even lose down there. Things are much easier to get too now.

That should definitely improve things for us!

I think I always had a fairly healthy sex drive but after the surgery it went a bit into overdrive! Now that I am a lot further on, it has evened out again though. I find sex much, much more enjoyable and climax more attainable since losing weight. Though I actually think the exercise and fitness has a lot to do with this as well, not just the weight loss. (Especially the yoga I do as I am way more bendy now! )

Its in overdrive! Im a 28 male and have been very healthy in that desire aspect but now its like wow. Im always thinking about sex, i have been hooking up so much its ridiculous, my last day off had 4 encounters in a day with another person haha. Its great and i play safe but the money i save kn food im spending on condoms haha

My drive tanked. Completely. Totally unexpected. I'm 10 months out.

My drive is super low too and I just can't understand why. I haven't looked or felt this good in years. I don't even want my hubby to touch me at all sometimes. For him I do it - but I could completely go without indefinitely. And I was never ever like this before. It was at least every other day. I don't know why this has happened.
