Sex Drive Came And Went With Weight Loss Posted: 10-24-03 08:53am
Hello just logged in today and so I am new
to this. But I am going through weight
loss surgery for almost 6 months now and I
have been very sexual and now I have
completely lost it. I don't know what to
do about it. Been to the doc and they
tell me to wait until I level out with the
weight loss.. That is another 7 months.
I don"t want to wait....All my female
tests came back normal.
This is driving me crazy and my husband to
be (less then 28 days) crazy as well and
we are starting to feel like strangers in
bed.
Does anyone have any ideas????????

Hello there! And welcome to the site.
I'm pretty new here too, and have found it
very useful, and I hope you do too!
I don't know much about weight loss
surgery, but I had an idea on what could
be causing your sex drive to diminish.
Are you taking medication for pain? A
lot pain medications when taken for
extended periods of time can cause
depression. And sometimes (a lot of
times) with depression comes the loss of
sexual appetite.
Sometimes it's hard to know when you are
depressed. And after a while, it can
start to feel normal to you. So you
really have to take a close, deep look at
yourself, and your life, and maybe see a
doctor about it.
If you find that maybe you are depressed,
there are depression medications out there
that can help you... But... A well
known side effect of depression
medications is the loss of sex drive.
So it kinda seems that you lose either
way, right? Maybe not. Talk to your
doctor about it.
Good luck with your surgery, and
everything else!
Hang in there!
