The weight loss study didn't seem to point to much. The only result worth noticing seems to be that younger participants had a higher rate of broken relationships post-wls. In some relationships, people may settle for partners if they think that's the best they can do and don't want to be alone. Post wls, they may feel they can do better (whatever their definition that means). In other cases, I think the significant other feels threatened by the perceived or real new attention to their partner.
Often aftsr weight loss surgery a person goes from being Ignored by the opposite sex to suddenly receiving a lot of admiration and attention. That can be a big challenge for their marriage or relationship. I used to tell people that it is possible to avoid divorce but might take some work to do so.

While there's limited research on the exact effects of marijuana on surgery, some studies suggest it may impact anesthesia requirements. Your surgeon will likely want to ensure the safest possible procedure, so they may advise temporarily stopping marijuana use before surgery.

If you're still looking for info, I'd recommend discussing it further with your medical team to get personalized advice. Additionally, if you're interested, exploring medical cannabis uk might be worth considering for managing your conditions in a potentially safer way.
Interesting, but it's a Swedish study. I wonder how relevant Swedish social practices are to the US.

Your condition is the basis for life to change after gastric surgery. Regulating blood glucose levels plays a key role in overall health, and postprandial hypoglycemia is a serious complication. Your efforts to bring attention to the problem, especially in the case of ten types of insurance, are necessary to maintain health and wellness.
I just happened to run across this medical journal article earlier today. We have all seen talk on here as to WLS, despite the great positive physical effects it produces for us, promoting post-op divorces and other disruptions to our social lives. 
Interesting conclusion (and kind of predictable), but I won't be a "spoiler" here and instead let you read it for yourself.

Has anyone had or is suffering from Adhesions and or scar tissue? 23 years post op, I have had multiple stomach surgeries and I suffer from adhesions and scar tissue bad enough to go to the ER.
Suggestions please.

Hi. I also have a lot of scar tissue from my initial surgery...leading to a medically emergent revision, (which of course led to more scar tissue), surgery to treat complications from the adhesions and my GI tract spasms led to medication from GI. My surgeon suggested deep massage to help "break up" some adhesions but sometimes medical assistance is necessary because it can cause obstructions and even tissue death in the GI tract. Try to avoid surgery if you are prone to scarring but sometimes you just have to find a good treatment team and keep researching. Sorry I am not much help. Do you have a GI or general surgeon "team". What sort of follow up from E.R visits have you had?
