Welcome Wanda. So glad you joined our website. I hope we will be able to offer you support and answer questions if we can. Perhaps you will want to tell us a little more about your surgery. Where are you from? If you have any questions ask away and maybe... Read more.

Can you tell me what changes we can expect to go through ? Altered how ?

Altered is right! I hear you Wanda. OHS is a singular experience. Each person's normal is normal. You are not crazy. Take care.

I like that altered. Next time my wife calls me crazy i'm telling her i'm altered.

Altered, like neutered, my Richard? Seriously though, a big surgery does change you a bit. I feel a bit less reactive to some things, because of the heart surgery. Like Rita says, every body is different!

Yes, we are all different for sure. Some of us more than others. Never say neutered in front of a guy. Makes us very nervous.
