Together is Better for Weight Loss Surgery Success

Choosing to undergo bariatric surgery is a life changing decision. Patients experience major changes both physically and psychologically, but they aren't the only ones affected. With physical change, sometimes there is a change in emotions too, and this can be especially hard on married couples.

For this reason, the rate of divorce for weight loss surgery patients is high, but this isn't reason to give up hope. Many couples make it through the weight loss journey together, even though at times, it can be trying. With support groups in hospitals and online, there are so many resources available to help patients and their families cope with the changes that come after weight loss surgery.
