I hope so! To be honest with you, I haven't really had much of a sex drive since surgery (I'm almost 9 weeks out) but I attribute that to mene. Now, energy is another thing. I can feel my energy returning. I am more active now than I have been in years!

How long since you had your surgery?

You will have a lot more energy. Before surgery I could barely walk down the street without discomfort and a lot of hard breathing. Now, 3 months and 60 pound less, I can go 30 minutes on a treadmill. Today I walked a lap around the mall for the first time in years.
