Super personal BUT I have to know. . .

This has been weighing on my mind lately, and decided to break down, get out of bed, and post this question.

Most (if not all of y'all know) my husband has been deployed for the last 6.5 months. He is on his way home YAY YAY.

I have heard from a couple of girls who have had WLS that their entire body has "shrunk". Essentially, things downstairs got tighter/smaller especially after they got close to goal weight.

So, you all see where I am going with this. I've lost 75lbs while he's been gone, and during the leak repair surgery they placed a foley catheter. Upon removal, I didn't want to worry about incontinence, so I started doing kegel exercises. Coupled with the weight loss, kegel exercises, and lack of sex for the last 6.5 months, I am so freaked out that my parts have changed, and sex isn't going to be enjoyable for either of us. I've always been a fan of kegel exercises and have done them since having my son back in 1998, but now my mind is reeling with the "what ifs".

If you don't feel comfortable sharing your experience, feel free to send me a message on here.

This could be just nerves freaking me out, but I can't get it out of my mind.

LOL - Susan you're too funny ... but you are oh so right -- I think it may be a few days before we get that answer!

Ha ha ha, he had to report on base today at 1pm, so I have a bit of time to myself.

I asked him if "it" was different, he said yes, but not too much of a difference that made anything uncomfortable.

Least to say, we get to bed until after 2:45am. Everything was amazing. I noticed there was a lot more room in between us. We could get closer, I didn't get tired. I'm still a little self conscious, but that is to be expected. Overall, our night together was amazing, Earth moving, I never imagined being together would feel so great ! ! !

Tiff, I am so happy for you! Life is good, huh?

Woot! Glad to hear things went so well, sounds like you had a very magical night, the first of many more to come!
