It's not really a problem but HOLY COW!!
Did anybody else have a raging libido after WLS? I've always had a fairly high libido during my teenage years and even before and by the time I reached 200+ lbs I got so depressed and it all went down the drain. Well, I am only 12 days post op and still over 200 lbs and holy moly I am back on my feet ( or should I say on my back heh). I am currently single but I have a "toy" that I bought online around Christmas time and I am getting aroused so much more easily now!!! I am even getting urges to do sexual things that I never really wanted to do before and I just fantasize and go to town on myself. Will it get better as I lose more weight? HOW MUCH MORE IS THERE?? SHEEEEESH
You're hormone dumping during this very rapid weight loss stage, which can account for the sudden onset of sexual drive you are experiencing.
Over the past several years I have read many posts about increased libido after WLS. I will allow that I, too, experienced a highly increased libido, but it was much farther out - about 4-5 months post op.To this day I have a far more rewarding intimate relationship with my partner than prior to WLS.
Easy there, chieftan. Don't want anyone going blind.

Umm...YES! And the more you lose, the better it gets. Confidence increases, and I feel like everything else kinda of tends of follow - including sexy times.
