WLS Pole Question Answer if you feel Comfortable Please....

As we all know those that have had  WLS we all go through some diffacult time, myself being one and Im curious and working on some reasearch as to those of us who have been threw the surgery's that have gone through a split up or divorce after the procedure? And do you feel it  stemed from the surgery or is it because we have  gained more confidence in ourself? Now this is for male's and female's because I know there are men and women who have had these surgery's and I know there are all of us in many types of relationships. I dont want details  just if this has happened to you in one way or the other. Thanks for  helping out. Hope all have a great weekend. 

 I've seen two marriages break up because one partner lost a lot of weight. The sudden energy and self confidence seems to drive some people off the deep end. 

It could be the other way around also....how ironic that you asked this question TODAY.  I just found out my BF is seeing someone else.  He has always said that "now you're looking good, you're going to look for someone else to be with".  Well, for the record....all I ever wanted was him, but now HE seems to think that I would stray.  Not the case at all.  It's HIS insecurities not MINE!

I have seen 5 or 6 in the past several years and im wondering if its the WLS related or if its the fact that we have gained confidence in ourselves and the root of the problems were already there and we are braver and  willing to stand our ground NOW. Thanks for your post. 

This '05 article from NY Magazine might interest you.  It's pretty much on point:

Thank you, I enjoyed reading that article.  Thank goodness I was a size 12 when my husband married me.  He couldn't be happier. 

I enjoyed reading that article.  My husband and I have only been married for 6 and a half years. When we met I was a size 12, after we married I really blossomed. lol.  He couldn't be happier with the way I am looking.

Thanks for the article was very interesting hope others had a chance to read it....

my husband and i separated in January, and are getting divorced this month.

i was unfulfilled in my marriage prior to the surgery, but i would never have had the courage to leave him if not for all the confidence and self-esteem i gained as a result of the surgery.

after i lost all the wait i started getting so much attention from men, that i slowly started to realize that life is too short to stay in an unhappy relationship when there are other opportunities out there.

Good luck!!!

Evelyn, good for you the point is your happy and healthy now, thanks for sharing.
