I am 2 months and 4 days post op and I am happy to say that I finally have gone from the "morbidly obese" range to just the "obese" range. I still have a long way to go but I am so happy to have come this far! In February I was up to 261 and now I am d

Did anybody else have a raging libido after WLS? I've always had a fairly high libido during my teenage years and even before and by the time I reached 200+ lbs I got so depressed and it all went down the drain. Well, I am only 12 days post op and stil
