I had been with my ex-wife for 2 years before I got mine 7 years ago, and it ruined our sex life. She ended up leaving for a "healthy" guy, and I have not been able to date since. As soon as I bring it up to a potential sex partner, I never hear from them again or they politely tell me they hope I get better. This is a bag and the 7 surgeries, and my life sucks since getting this miserable parasite that hangs from my belly. I would love to be an optimist and tell you everything will be great, but my experiences have been anything but! Best of luck, it's a long, hard road to recovery, and hopefully, you find that one person who is able to see beyond the bag!
