seems i'm the only.. suspicious..

Nope, you are not the only one. There are at least 2 of us! Probably more. But if it's true, it really is sad, and it CAN happen, and she didn't bash a doc...I know, I know, but what else do you say but I'm sorry? I would love to know more, that's for sure.

does it matter if it is a troll or not? We know someone died on that day, someone somewhere died. I think the important thing is that we feel compassion and are compassionate. Someone somewhere is in grief and mourning.

I think that by the simple act of caring enough to send an anonomous condolence card into the void of the net adds to the cosmic net balance of good. Someone somewhere gets to reap the benifit of that extra positive energy. We all get the benifit of humanity.

Docs always blame the anesthesia. That is why anesthesiologists have one of the highest malpractice insurance rates. (OBs are up there too). I'm not banded yet and won't be until after the first of the year, due to insurance delays. I'm planning on being banded here in Nashville. However, I've told my husband to post here if anything happens to me. In an effort to get the info out. I'm reasonably healthy and have faith that God will see me through. I'm not sure what the recourse is for medical malpractice in Mexico.

Back to the point, I'm very sorry about your friend. I'll keep you and yours in my prayers.

Good point. Well said and well taken. Compassion is always a good thing.

OKay I started not to post but I am curious also. Was she a member here of LBT? DId she have a previous heart condition that was not addressed or was it something congenital and not diagnosed. I too am sorry for your loss of your friend, and at 40 that is bad. There are always risks to surgeries of anykind and they can happen here in the states just as in Mexico. I had a friend who's cousin died at the dentist from getting too much sedation. He was only 21. That happened here in Georgia, but it didn't hinder me from going to my dentist and having procedures done that may require sedation. I don't know if it was meant to say that Mexican medical practices caused her death but I don't agree if that was the message. I don't mean to sound harsh but when someone dies unexpectedly we sometimes want someone to blame. Your friend died doing something she wanted to do to help her with her weight. My prayers to her husband and family.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
