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 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.

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.

@ 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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
