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.

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

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
