anyone heard about !

hello everyone, i was reading on another messageboard about women who after having wls that they went hog wild, doing things that they would not have done when they were overweight. anybody know about this, just curious. i did have a friend that lost about 70 lbs. on her own and left her husband after 15 years of marriage, what' up ? - amanda

I'm pretty hogwild anyway, so no one will probably notice a difference there! I have heard that the incidence of divorce in the first couple of years following WLS is high. People (men or women) who have been obese often have had very low self esteems and as their self image changes they can become more outgoing. This change, along with the increased attention from others, can activate jealousy in an insecure spouse. It makes sense. I find that whole scenario really sad. All I can say is that if the pressures of change are causing stress in a relationship that is precious to you, get counselling sooner rather than later. If two people want to work it out, with help, they can. Joy
