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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
