Our imaginations are of weight loss and health based on bariatric surgery (mainly gastric sleeve surgery). But there is one area that can get a whole lot better after weight loss surgery — your sex life. Nearly everyone remembers the changes and the wellness perks, but few think of the sex and love boost that bariatric surgery brings. After bariatric surgery, however, nearly everyone’s results in terms of sexual performance, self-confidence and strength is incredible.
What Does Bariatric Surgery Do To Your Body?
And, of all the things bariatric surgery (and gastric sleeve surgery in particular) can and will do, there’s not much they can do to make you fat. There are many bodily benefits of this weight loss, like cardiovascular benefits, more mobility and decreased obesity diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. All of these modifications affect your general energy level and body mass which are needed for a productive sex session.
Increased Energy and Improved Stamina
Almost everyone says that they are happier and less lazy after bariatric surgery. And the power that has with that can play a direct role in sexual strength. You know that when you slim down, your blood flows more freely, your body will be more oxygenated, your heart less straining, and so you’ll be healthier for activity, sex for example.
Neither does bariatric surgery remove fat, and when you lose fat you have increased blood flow which is vital for sexual health. More oxygen can pass through the blood vessels and that increases physical activity and reduces the incidence of erectile dysfunction in men and low libido in women. It can also mean more endurance and more long-sexed body.
The Boost in Self-Esteem
And perhaps the most effective sex life altering effect of bariatric surgery is the overwhelming boost in self-esteem the majority of patients experience. What changes your mind in weight loss are as important as physical ones. Only when patients are healthy in their own bodies can the majority of patients following weight loss surgery have optimal relationships and sex.
Weighing down and feeling well-bodied largely increases self-worth and body confidence, which in turn increase sex confidence. Obese people even report feeling better about themselves, and thus feel self-worth and even the desire for sex. Even better, in a study published in the “Journal of Sexual Medicine” bariatric patients had higher levels of body image and sexual function like desire and satisfaction.
Hormonal Changes and Sexual Health
Another uncanny aftereffect of bariatric surgery is that it alters hormones regulating sex. A great many obese people are hormonally impacted – they have higher levels of insulin and leptin, the hormones that help them libido and feel sexually fulfilled. hormones returned after bariatric surgery by melting away fat and balancing hormones.
There have been women who underwent bariatric surgery for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or for improved menopause symptoms with consequences for sexual function. Losing weight can reduce erectile dysfunction, the most common symptom of an overweight man, in men through improved circulation and hormone regulation.
Reduced Fatigue and Stress
Most overweight people are also chronically exhausted and stressed, which is bad sex. A great many patients are happier and healthier during the day after their bariatric surgeries. You get more rest and you have a better feeling, so when that fat melts away, you’re in better shape and it’s good for your sex. Embraced bodies keep hormones under control, make us feel good, and allow us to get sex.
And the less-expressive sex life could be further supported by no obesity-related diseases (diabetes, joint problems, heart disease) and boost your general health and wellbeing. The more happy one is, the more willing he is to do what he wants – including sex.
Behavioral Studies of Sexual Function in Patients After Bariatric Surgery
In some studies, a relationship between bariatric surgery and sexual health was examined. The article for instance from the magazine “Obesity Surgery” was written that after weight loss surgery patients’ sexual function such as libido, sexual satisfaction and overall sexual health changed radically. They were right: bariatric surgery isn’t just good for weight loss, it’s better for quality of life and sexual performance.
In another study in “Journal of Sexual Medicine,” both men and women were more sexually satisfied and better able to feel good about their bodies following weight loss surgery. For women, bariatric surgery altered libido and function, and for men erectile function and sexual appetite.
Mental Health and Intimacy
Mental health complements sexual health, and bariatric surgery can be a game-changer. It can even help mental wellbeing (depression and anxiety symptom when we are slim). Such psychotherapy gains are utterly relationship and intimacy-altering. Most of their patients are in their own skins, and they empathise emotionally and physically with their partners.
Conclusion: A More Fulfilling Life
The bariatric operation is seductive but perhaps the most surprising aspect of all is how sex-friendly it is. With more energy and stamina to better self-esteem and hormonal balance, bariatric surgery doesn’t just make patients fat; it improves their lives. Bariatric surgery can give you a more healthy, fulfilled sex life through improved circulation, fatigue and self-esteem.
