Does any long terms find that they tan better since WLS?

I am fair skinned, and do not get real dark, but I never tan on my legs, especially from the knee down. I was wondering does loosing weight have any effect on this? I know some may think, after WLS, that being able to take the heat better would cause me to be out in the sun more, thus getting a better tan. But honestly no matter how long I am in the sun I do not tan. I know all of the health issues, and am not a sun-aholic. I would just like to get a little color on my legs if possible. I have noticed that in the before and after pics that a lot of post ops are very tan. Is it the weight loss, or do the just feel more comfortable in the sun?
