Relationship trouble AFTER WLS

[Guest guest]

I went to the support group meeting at the hospital and its for

anyone that is interested in wls or already has had wls. It seems

like most of the people there are postop from a few weeks out to

almost two years and last night a woman thats been going there for

months told us all that she is getting a divorce. I felt bad right

away and everyone kept telling her they were sorry and she

said, " don't feel sorry for me---I'm the one that filed! " She

complained about how her husband has been treating her sooooo

different since she lost the weight, about 100 pounds out he started

noticing her again she said. and then she said all he seemed

interested in was sex, not really her. She said she wants love not

lust, and she said she could tell she was just an object to him. I

felt so sorry for her but what guts to get rid of him! Someone said

after the meeting that divorce or separation is common after wls when

someone loses weight things can change. The woman said if you love

me you should love me for better or worse, thin or fat...

I'm still reeling from the meeting.
