christia 0 Posted July 28, 2009 Hello to all, Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I am a social psychologist and a nurse, and am faculty at a university in the Western United States. I am recruiting participants for my research study examining heterosexual couple relationships following the female partner's weight loss surgery. The study includes a survey and an interview with each couple partner. All expenses (such as mailings, travel) are incurred by me. It has been my observation that although the number of weight loss surgeries performed is increasing, there is little attention to the impact and adjustment that couples go through following surgery. Social support -- including a partner's support -- is critical to achieving goals, and knowing more about couples' experiences is key. I'd like to illuminate this aspect of weight loss surgery, and learn of strategies that may help other couples who experience weight loss surgery in the future. If you would like to participate or learn more about the study, please contact me privately. There is no obligation to participate if you contact me.
