Keep your head up and don't you gain 1 pound back!!!!! I really believe that your divorce has nothing to do with you weight loss. Some things are not meant to be and if weight loss was part of the plan to save your marriage, i can tell at 2 weeks post op that my hubby will not change. That is why i am so glad that i had the surgery for me and not for him or this marriage. Use your tool to get you a new man. LOL Much blessings your way.

My husband is 3 months out from WLS, and I think he now has a skin tear behind his knee. Is this normal? What are the best treatments for it? Any way of preventing (or minimizing) them in the future? Please let me know! Thanks

Len the fact that your wife suggested posting on the board is a good sign. Talking about our fears and problems helps I posted some suggestions that have helped us on the boad good luck taylor

Laurien My wife is at this time jumping through the hoops to have surgery, We look to have surgery this spring. I am the supportive spouse. It has helped me to go to all the meetings with Medical people and to attend the support group meetings as well. We also did three sessions of an hour length with a marrriage counselor. I like to think of it as a we thing. It has helped to talk frankly about our feelings, fears, hopes and dreams. To realise that those feelings of fear especially are real feelings but may not be correct views. I started by ready Weight loss surgery for Dumbies. and have looked for any information to inform myself. At the introduction to WLS meeting I was the one to ask the questions for my own peace of mind. I look at this as a new road and a new adventure for our Family Take Care

Are some posts deleted by the admins? I ask because there was a post dated 04/15/04 from a person named Randy Nicholson titled "The Pain and Hurt of WLS" and it had over 20 replies and I thought much valuable material. Now it is gone. I thought maybe it was too old, but I see other posts from before 04/04? This forum has so few posts compared to others, and it is a lifeline for me so I'm just hoping it is not being phased out or posts are not being deleted because they have uncomforatble topics. I saw the "TERMS" thing about admins having sole discresion etc, so I guess that's what happened.
