When I went to my consult I was given a packet with a section from The American Society for Bariatric Surgery (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) in their Rationale for the Surgical Treatment of Morbid Obesity it says "Postoperatively marital satisfaction increases, but only if a measure of satisfaction existed before surgery. If marital discord exsisted before surgery, the improved self image of the patient may lead to divorce postoperatively." There you have it. If you have a good realationship now it will get better, if you don't, it won't. How can your guy argue with that?

April I began researching WLS about a year ago and finally made up my mind and went to a seminar on March 23rd and had my consult with Dr. Greene on March 27th. I finished my pre-op tests, psych consult, nutrition counceling, and exercise classses this week and now I'm waiting for them to put it through to the insurance. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I don't have any major health problems just back pain which I've had since I was a teen, way before the weight issues started, so I 'm not sure if that will go away or not. Do you have to do the six month diet? I do not with BCBS Federal.

Hi I'm Christy and I'm a newbie to this site. I've finished my pre-op tests and I'm waiting on insurance approval. I'm a low BMI bander, just at 40, I'm being banded by DR. Greene in Rockville MD and I can't wait.
