Abstract

Long-term weight maintenance following weight loss surgery (WLS) may be challenging for patients without supportive spouses. The health behaviors and relationship quality of spouses pre- and post-WLS have rarely been explored, leaving providers with little guidance on how to engage spouses in treatment. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the empirical research on relationship factors and WLS among married couples. The identified articles (N = 13) reported that the amount of weight lost post-WLS tended to be lower for married patients, couples' relationship quality tended to decline from pre- to post-WLS, and sexual contact increased post-WLS. Future research should explore how the relationship factors and quality of couples may influence patients' WLS outcomes over time to identify ways that interventions can enhance the couple's relationship and health.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
