Sex after gastric sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

My fiance had the gastric sleeve surgery done over a year ago she lost a 100 pounds. Since then when wevhave sex she complains that it hurts. She asked her female dr and he can't see anything wrong. Itvis really putting a damper on the sex life where she doesn't want to have sex at all. Has anyone ever experienced this if so what wasvthe problem and what was done to reduce the pain? Hopefully I can get some answers from here.

Most people report an improvement in sex after losing weight. So the fact that she is sleeved is most likely unrelated. Has she had her hormones checked? Can she enjoy other forms of sexual play using toys or do those cause pain as well?

This is tough because correlation is not causation and on here you will read thread after thread where sex improves for a variety of reasons (improved confidence, improved mobility, etc.). I can appreciate that these events coincided but frankly her stomach is no where near her genitals. So while no one on here is a doctor, I appreciate Mommamia's suggestion of the therapist though I would think a sex therapist is more appropriate. As a woman, I know for me that sex is more mental than it is physical so checking her physically may not solve the issue(s) but iti s good that you have ruled out physiological issues. I hope you get some resolution soon and good on you for coming on here to ask.

I Have the same problem after surgery, I'm more interested in sex but it hurts. I'm not sure of the cause or any remedies though

It's hard to describe but it's almost like it's hitting my cervix and also feels tighter like a lot of pressure. Sorry I don't have a better way to describe it

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
