So fellow lady sleevers....... What kind of changes did you experience " down there "? Did your period change? What was ovulation like? Less/more vag secretions? Has your mons pubis shrunk? Libido?

I know everyBODY is different, but I just want to know what may oray not happen. Like, what to expect.

Nothing! Absolutely nothing changed and I was really worried after reading some post that I would have bloody horrible cramps ect...but I'm as regular and as normal as before. I'm still too new for the rest of your questions.

I'm only a month post op. Had been in birth control for nearly 9 years and had to come off it the month prior to surgery. Haven't had a period since the month prior to surgery. (Spotted only briefly less than a week after surgery) No difference in secretion at this point. But I can tell you my libido has been out of control! I don't think I've ever wanted to engage in relations more than I have since surgery.

Your mons pubis wil shrink but it may not look that great, especially if you a very large pannis. However, affer your weight loss journey is over, a Tummy Tuck can correct both areas.

Any changes you may notice vaginal wise are most likely temporary from hormone fluctuations related to the loss of excess fat.

Post-menopausal. Because I feel sexier and because I was able to drop so many meds that were keeping me in a fog and dulling nerve endings....I am more tactically responsive, too. I am sexier and sassier than I was in my twenties......for real!

1 month post op yesterday, and entirely skipped my period this month. Absolutely the opposite of what I was expecting!

I was hoping that with the changing hormone levels my cycles would stop. I am ready to be done with the monthly pain of cramping and never knowing what to expect since I am firmly in peril- menopause. No such luck. I do feel more attractive and more interested in sex. Only 2 months out.we'll see what the future holds....

I had my surgery Oct 15th of this year and I've had 4 or 5 periods since, BUT I ran out of my birth control and then I switched to a lower hormone dose so that could be why. Vaginal secretions seem to be a little more than before. My mons pubis is MAYBE a little smaller but it's more noticeble to me because I don't have the big gut blocking my view anymore. And apparently anything under a size 16 is "low-rise" which seems to make mine more noticeble lol. And libido is back up, A LOT! I want it all the time now!! I think it's because I feel so good about myself now.

I think age plays a huge part in this. I'm just heading into menopause. Everything has changed. It was probably going to change anyway. Definitely less libido, less periods, less acne, more wrinkles (in places I didn't know would wrinkle), dry as a chip.... But I'm not so sure that wouldn't have happened anyway, sooner or later. Periods were already irregular preop. I'm 46. But, 115 pounds lighter in 8 months? It's all worth it!

I know this is an older thread, but glad to find it. My libido is out of control. I was getting concerned. Glad to know others are experiencing this.

Lol I was having the same concerns. I kept thinking what I wrong with me!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
