Ok I had no idea where to put this...so please move if it's in the wrong place, but I have question that I have no one else to ask about lol...has anyone had a loss of libido since getting banded (just for the record I know its not caused by the band).

Could it/would it be because of losing weight? I've heard some people on here say something about estrogen being stored in the fat...so when we lose the fat, could that be why??

Could be, but probably it's just that you haven't fully recovered from the surgery and the initial drastic change in your diet and the liquid phase and all. I'm sure you'll soon be doing better!!! Probably much better than before surgery!!

Released estrogen shouldn't make you unwilling to have sex. Is it possible you're just, well, basically unsure about yourself as you are losing? The band focuses our thoughts on our weight and makes many of us hyper aware of it...then as you lose a chunk, (as has cindie) you are "different". (not bad...just "different") It can take some people a while to adjust to the newer smaller body and to feel comfortable.

If it's problematic, ask your surgeon or your psych. consultant. For me, the opposite is true. Weight goes down, libido goes up! :wink:

My libido has certainly increased. I thought that it possibly had to do with the increase in exercise. I know my husband sure is enjoying my increased energy level. My bicycle riding with my husband has certainly increased his libido.

      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?
