Jeffy 8 Posted November 16, 2012 Here's my story: I had my first appointment with my dr in August and a few weeks later my wife (a bander that recently lost about 80lbs) decided to end our marriage to be with a co-worker. We had a great marriage and it took me by surprise. It was hard because we have two kids and we were married for 9 years. It's a bummer that your best friend could leave you and replace you so quickly, but I'm optimistic about the situation though. I have my surgery next month and I'm glad that I have so many new beginnings happening in my life. Anyone else have any experience with ex's, friends, or family losing a signifcant amount of weight and having a drastic personality change like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a handful of people that have had wls and about 50% divorced or left their boyfriend. It's sad that happens. Sorry you went through that but there will be better days ahead. 1 Jeffy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bekkamyhousekey 12 Posted November 17, 2012 I can't lie, this has been a concern of mine. I am still pre-op & I have asked myself if having this surgery is worth it if it changes who I am as a person. I have decided to continue in my pursuit despite my fears. It is lack of concern/attention given to your internal person that creates such monsters. If I am already concerned, I can determine the emotional path I allow myself to take and I can control how I interact with people in my life. Or have I already gone crazy? Haha. 1 everlag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smokey12 71 Posted November 17, 2012 I'm single too, a bit older than you guys, I will have my surgery 6 days before my 50th birthday. And I understand a recent post, that I don't know how to act around guys. Mysterious creatures that they are. lol I can't wait to see the new 'lesser' me, and maybe people will start to see me for who I really am instead of some fat lady. Wish my luck, my surgery date is the 17th of december. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bajanqueen70 47 Posted November 17, 2012 Well' date=' I am officially single... While I am disappointed about the break-up, I am even more disappointed in the fact that as soon as I left, I made a bee-line into Mickey D's and ordered a meal when I wasn't really hungry. Before I date again (and before my sleeve in Feb '13) I will be seeing a therapist.[/quote'] Lez sometimes these things happen for a reason....it can be very emotional; but you know what? You need peace in your life before your surgery; you don't need all the added stress of that emotional rollercoaster! Don't worry, we're here for you no matter what!
