Return of Libido ?

At a support meeting they talked about the drop in the libido (sexual desire). Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the libido to return? I saw an add in the O magazine about a pill called Avlimil. Has any one tried it? Our Dr said that they were just beginning to realize that is was a common problem (for women, not men),even though he's been doing the surgery for 20 years, so there isn't a lot of research yet, so without getting too personal, how long, some of you "surgery old timers" will it take to get the desire back? I asked this question once at a support group where the dr did the proximal RNY and they all said it wasn't a problem, so I am wondering if it is a problem with the distal surgery and is part of the malnutrition/malabsorbtion adjustment? I hope to have surgery soon, so I don't have the foggiest.
