Beth,

This makes me mad that I live so far away that I can't attend Dr. Hess's

meetings. It would be great to be there.

It seems the big variable would be just how " postop " the person is.

The first three months postop will be different than, say, a year

postop. That was the variable for me anyway... ymmv... heidi

| POLL QUESTION: For post-ops. How do you feel the

| surgery has affected your libido/sex

| life?

|

| CHOICES AND RESULTS

| - My sex drive is a whole lot better than pre-op., 13 votes, 24.07%

| - My sex drive is a little better than pre-op., 11 votes, 20.37%

| - My sex drive is a little worse than pre-op., 6 votes, 11.11%

| - My sex drive is much worse than pre-op., 7 votes, 12.96%

| - My sex drive is about the same as pre-op., 17 votes, 31.48%

Another variable was the wording.... " better than pre op " etc.....well, some people have HUGE sex drives pre-op....and maybe it's " the same " with pre & post op,....where as someone with a WAY low sex drive pre op, now selects " better than pre-op " .....which would all make this poll difficult to rely on since we don't know who were nymphos before surgery and who were not? LOL Does that make sense?

On another note, at Dr. Hess's meeting last friday, a woman asked how long she had to wait to have intercourse after the surgery. He said " You have to wait at least untill you leave the hospital! " ....then proceeded to crack himself up! End of meeting. I love him. :-)
