85% within the first year post op?

There was an article in my local paper about a woman who had WLS - they went through all the possible complications and there was a quote that the divorce rate for post op WLS is 85% in the first year? I had not read the article yet at work when my husband called to let me know about the article and asked about the divorce rate that was quoted. I told him it seemed ridiculously high - that I was sure that some people after WLS may realize that they may have married someone who would not have been acceptable if they were not MO, but that notwithstanding the 85% rate seemed unreasonable. I just wanted to know if anyone has any imput on this. (I also reminded him that I was as thin as I am now when we met and married so he shouldn't worry! LOL!)
