"i miss my sex drive! i feel no sexual desire anymore since having the rod put in and i have gained exactly a stone in weight. i used to be one of those lucky girls who could eat what i like when i like, not anymore! thanks to this weight gain i have horrible stretch marks on my legs and hips and feel the most unhappy i have ever felt. i&#039;m 22 years old and have given the rod a chance for a year and i&#039;m having it removed."
