increased Libido?



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for my first consultation for the sleeve. Nothing is set in stone and I'm pretty sure this is what I want to do.

One question I have is for any of you who have had it done- have you noticed an increase in your libido since surgery- when you felt up to it?

I have noticed that the heavier I have gotten, the less desire I have and I'm wondering if that is something that will change after.

oh yeah :) As you loose weight your confidence builds up and of course you will feel sexier too! So i think that answers your question... Hope that helps.

A lot of people do. Our body stores hormones in our fat cells so after surgery the rapid weight loss will actually force those stored hormones back into your system. This is part of the reason peoples emotions go kinda rollercoaster for a while... But the other effect is a major jump in sex drive. ;)

Yes and no. I am 2 1/2 yrs out, when I started loosing lots I wanted to have it all the time. That was the honeymoon phase after surgery. Now after 90 lbs gone, yeah I like to have it but not all the time like it was the first year. Its like things have mellowed out. I actually got diagnosed with low testonrone, so I am on a compounded cream to help with that. Sex is a heck of a lot better without all the weight though!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
