Does sex hurt for you?

[Avb830 1]

So I am almost 6 months post op VSG down 80pds. I’ve noticed sex has been hurting a little each time and I’m unsure if it’s because I’ve lost so much weight there’s no more meat there to excuse me but there’s no more meat there to protect me when it gets intense...I’ve also haven’t gotten much of a sex drive back...will it ever come back?

I'm now 15 weeks post op with bypass but have to say that sex for my hubby and I has been probably the largest plus to the surgery. I actually have had frequent bladder infections; sex was very painful for that the last years but it's much better now since the weight loss (down 100 lbs). Your start weight was much lower then mine, I don't know if your being so small now can make a difference with that. Sex drive is better for me now for the simple fact of body image and a new closeness with my husband but in the past I've take Maca and it helped a lot with sex drive. It's just an herb-takes about a week to ten days. I also am now in menopause-that can even make a difference.

I think your Dr would have you see a gynecologists to be safe on that but I would run it by your surgeon at a next check-up. Great job on your weight loss!

I am curious about this question. Does anyone have any additional responses to share?
