Morbid obesity: effects on the marital system of weight loss after gastric restriction.

Abstract:

:Eighty morbidly obese married women and 69 of their husbands completed a self-report measure of personal and marital adjustment before the women proceeded to gastric restriction surgery. Fifty-five women and 41 husbands repeated the measure 12 months after surgery, at which time the women had lost a mean of 35.4 kg. Women rated themselves as significantly more attractive and sociable, and rated their husbands as significantly less sociable and interesting, than before surgery. Husbands rated their wives as excessively sociable after surgery, the reverse of their previous view. The data offered some support for a family systems view of morbid obesity, but the systemic effect appeared weak, and is probably not a major contributor to wives' morbid obesity in most cases.
