Question:
How many post ops lose sexual sensation? Is this common?

I was reading a post and someone stated they had "lost some sensation down there". Is this common? I would really hate to get my life back and not get as much or more enjoyment out of sex as I do now. I am on a self imposed celibacy right now w/ a little "self help" when needed. I am trying to concentrate on my son, my health and getting this surgery to be too concerned w/ sex or a relationship right now. But I am hoping to have both again. Please reassure me!!!    — Jennifer H. (posted on July 15, 2001)

Hi, Sex is now wonderful again.........In my first 3-4 months I would have moments of not tonight stuff, but I truly believe it was more the hormone issue and some of the medication that I was on at that time, depression meds, also the shock from surgery has put my body is "What is going on" mode too. Relax you will be fine I promise I am now 7 months out and feeling wonderful and I really can get into this Sex stuff again. I told Sam (Hubby if I am this active at 99 lbs down Look out when I loose another 114 when I get to my goal weight" We both laughed on this one and said "OH MY GOD...LOL Just be patient you are where your body is suppose to be at this moment. Remember DREAMS DO COME TRUE FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVES Jay
