My Wife's Cousin Just Died Because Complications With The Vsg

[DogBone 1]

My wife's cousin just died because complications with the VSG (10:00 PM local time Brasil). She was 55 year old. She was sleeved 1.5month ago, we live in the third biggest city in the country, 7 million people. The guy that made the VSG is the same that made mine, he already made 500 of them.

She had a leak a week later and she went to a surgery to fix it, a open one this time, after that she stayed 5 days in the ICU, got better and went to ta room, after two weeks she was still with an infection and difficult to breath. She was back to the ICU for the last two weeks, last 5 days breathing thought a tracheotomy. Today the machine was not enough so they send her to a lung surgery, but all they found was an infection, nothing to be done. She died 5 hours later.

She leaves a 14year old boy.

We know it could happen to any of us. I hope that she rest in peace.

What a sad and terrible thing. I know that most of us, as we consider the surgery (ANY elective surgery for that matter), consider that this might happen. For many of us (certainly for me), the decision to have surgery comes down to whether we will die young from weight related illness or take the chance to increase our health and well being for many years. I pray that your family finds peace.
