Okay all of this may be TMI but I need answers!!! I'm a month post op and have been kind of spotting dark brown every day since surgery. It stops right after shower for most of the day but comes back again and the odor is horrible. What is going on?!

Another question, my boyfriend and I have tried to have sex and I can't get wet. That's never been a problem. We have to use lube now. That's no fun. I'm getting depressed. Please tell me I'm not alone and that I can fix all of this somehow

Hello, I am a bypass gastric patient for a year now. And I feel the same thing when I'm going to be intimate with my husband. And it's crazy. But you will need to talk to your Doctor. Because the sex thing could be a hormone change due to the surgery.

I spotted for six weeks after surgery. Dr. says it's the estrogen stored in the fat cells being released. I haven't had a dryness problem, but I'd think the estrogen is the likely culprit as well. If it is, the father you go, the more your body bounces back to normal.

@@hernewselfie The hormones released by burning fat are probably what is to blame. It's important to rule out an infection though (the smell would concern me). Hope you feel better soon!!!

@@hernewselfie What kind of birth control are you using? I would lean to the hormone thing....

@@bayougirlmrsc I was just about to ask that - because I use the depo shot and I tend to spot the brown stuff for about a month off and on right before my next shot since surgery.

and right after (about a week or so) I was spotting the brown stuff for about 6 weeks. I have not had a problem with dryness though...

Hormones made my body crazy to the point I had to have a second surgery. You can always see your OBGYN but period and other things seem to go haywire for most women.

Hi Hernewselfie

I haven't seen you lately!! n How are you doing? I hope everything is good. I don't have any good info on your ? due to having a HYSTRO 20 some years ago. Give me an update on your journey.

Yes I'm a dude. Sorry. My wife has hormone issues and there are times where we have to use lube and times that we don't. You should check with your doctor though because for my sweetie she actually had a pituitary gland issue due to a brain tumor.

@ I'm sorry to hear about your wife - I hope everything worked out.

@ She is doing much better. She has lost some of the peripheral vision in her left eye. Most likely it is permanent. She can drive again. Fortunately she is right eye dominant but she shoots with both eyes open and it has really messed with her shooting. She is quite upset about that.

@ I bet - being deaf... if I lost any of my peripheral vision... it would probably drive me... crazier? I'm glad its getting better for her and hope it continues to do so.
