A member asked:
I am diagnosed with pcos and will undergo vertical sleeve gastrectomy in a month. will the surgery decrease my libido?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It shouldn't.: A vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a surgery to treat obesity and cause weight loss which will bring people down to their ideal weight. None of the structures in that area influences libido, so there is no reason to think the surgery should affect your libido.
