Hi ladies!

Not sure what is going on but I am dry as a Sahara desert in my lady bits, and its to the point where my S/O doesn't think I am attracted to him. Which is not true at all. I never had this problem, is this just a side effect of losing weight rapidly? or maybe I am getting older (I am 35yrs old). It is getting frustrating.

I don't think it sounds abnormal At All. I was recently doing some research into something tangently related (spotting / menstrual issues) and everything I came across has been talking about how much our hormones change -- both from the surgery itself, but also all throughout weight loss, etc. Get yourself some good lube and enjoy. ?

You have hormonal shifts and should be temporary but I’d speak to my OB/GYN or your surgeon to have labs done.

I completely agree, most likely it is the WLS hormonal shifts but its always recommended to check with your doctors when there are changes just to be sure! Also, this can assure your SO that you know its a concern and since you still feel the same about them it surely must be a medical change!

Low estrogen can cause vaginal dryness. There are quite a few treatments for it. Have a chat with your gyno. They should be able to help.

Thank you all, I ended up drinking a ton more water and it seemed to help!
