Just an update from op
It's happening by the end of next week
Wish me luck ;)
To answer some of your questions:
Yes of course there's more to the marriage than just looks and belly
I'm just afraid a lack of attraction is a starting point of things going downhill a lot
Things as simple as she wants some action and nothing happens down there once she's lost a lot
What issues:
Severe back pain and structural damage to all her lower back (irreversible, but more manageable at lower weight), high blood pressure and diabetes 2
After all there's a reason why wls also has the name divorce surgery I guess
The rates are, scientifically proven, increased by a lot unfortunately
Especially when you met the person undergoing surgery at high weight (I'm guessing it's not even people like us only, but also normal people who happen to be with someone overweight)
There's a lot of significant changes on both sides and you will sort of be married to a new person all of a sudden (for some even the personality changes quite a bit), new looks, new activities, new lifestyle and so on
None of that is what you're used to obviously and it's hitting you like a freight train instead of slow changes over decades maybe
That's all what I'm afraid of and I was wondering if there are people among us who went through this no matter what result
