Ditto for me, historically weight loss brought on increased libido...always wondered why the wife would start cooking extra caloric after a while :lol:

This was actually one of the reasons that I went through with the surgery. With my high blood pressure and medication, sex was... lacking. My drive was low, duration was short, and the intimacy was not as intense as I wanted it. At 5 months post-op, our sex life is back to our early years and just general affection between us is up again.

This is all very good news. My wife will be pleased to hear about this. I think I'll add sex to my fitness routine once I get sleeved.

How long did it take you guy's to get back in the groove after your surgery?

I was finally "in the mood" about a month out. But I had a few issues after surgery that slowed me down (partially collapsed lung and hematoma). It took me until the two month mark until my wife had to tap out. That hasn't happened in a long time!

I'm single, so I had a while before I had an opportunity, it was about month. As I kept losing weight and got stronger it kept getting better and more rigorous. Now I expect things to go for 30 minutes or more. I am only dating women who work out, because a couch potato is going to have a tough time keeping up. ;-)

It was on time I got home, stitches and all.

How many have shown no change? Been almost 3 months since surgery and I am still "meh" <_< about it all. I know every body is different so adjustments and attitudes will change individually but there are so many who are showing positive responses I am wondering when the signs are supposed to kick in.

I've found myself having significant changes with my libido at only 100 pounds less. While marriage is marriage and the wife and I can only do it so much with our busy lives, I've found the amount of times I'd fap going from once every few weeks to at least 3 times a week. My brain/hormones are definitely nagging me a lot more. Sometimes visual stimulation can help kick start things, and once you get going again I think the body will start expecting more and start nagging you too.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
