to the original Poster...I had a breakdown of a different sort. I am a teacher as well, and Post Surgery EVRYTHING and EVERYBODY seemed to cause me stress. I think not having food as a Coping Mechanism was a major factor. 3 months after my surgery I started having panic attacks at work, I thought I would haul off and smack a kid and expressed my concerns to my hubby, but eventually I flipped out and went Bananas (verbally) on a student. Luckily, they accepted me quitting mid-year. Whew! I'm fine now, but NO DOUBT the surgery made me LESS TOLERABLE of my students off the chain behavior---and they were a difficult bunch to begin with. YOU MUST find a replacement for dealing with stress, if Food was your go-to.

I'm 8 months post-op and STILL have no sex drive. I LOOK GREAT, I FEEL GREAT, I EXERCISE REGULARLY, but my LIBIDO seems BROKEN. I am only 36 years old, and I had a VERY HEALTHY sex drive before surgery, and reaching "O's" was never a problem ...now tis the opposite.

I was a MAJOR textbook APPLE...Now I am DELIGHTFULLY becoming PEAR shape. My poor boobs have taken a hit, and are much smaller and deflated now, but I always wished I was pear shaped, and now I am!!!

Well mine changed sorta and I went to my Gyn about it.he swears that FAT doesnt affect that area, but sex became MUCH more painful for the first 6 months and I hated it....we think its because with less butt and thigh Padding, hubby is able to get "deeper" access...just my personal experience.

I WENT THROUGH THIS EXACT THING!! My weight was a major underlying issue in my marriage and I became resentful aFTER my surgery that he was tripping all over himself to be nice, and accomodating. Some basic human courtesy behaviors he started doing after my weight loss that he did not do when I was obese, and yes it can make you angry. But I EVENTUALLY got over it. and we are in anexcellent place together. It sucks, but its human behavior.
