I had my permanent ileostomy surgery 7 weeks ago due to Crohn's disease and I've been talking about getting intimate again with my husband and he doesn't seem interested at all.... It almost seems like it makes him nervous and turned off... It just makes me feel worthless and I don't want him to be grossed out by me and not want me anymore. I just feel sad because I was worried this would happen and it just seems like he is grossed out with the thought of sex now that I have this stoma. Anyone else have this issue?
