I called Dr. Sanchez's office today

Yes, so so sad but true. I called Alma today to find out funeral arrangements and see how his wife is doing and he was brutally murdered Saturday. Dr. Suzanne was with him. He went to his ranch to pay his ranch hands and as he was leaving he was shot twice in the back. He was bleeding bad but made it to the hospital, but before they could do surgery he bled to death. They lodged in his stomach. He was such a dear dear sweet man. Kindest most knowledgable surgeon there was with the lapband. He will be sadly missed. One of the girls I had surgery with wants to fly down with me this weekend. Will let everyone know more when I know more. Please pray for his precious sweet wife and family.

Sherryjo, I am just sick over this. Poor Dr. Susannah, having to witness this. That is so bizarre it is almost unbelievable.

What a tragedy. I strongly considered Dr. Sanchez for surgery. He has so many happy patients and a wonderful staff. I will keep his family in my prayers. What a devastating loss.

Over the past month there have been some pretty angry bandsters on Ready4Achange forum regarding Dr. Sanchez and I wonder if that had anything to do with his murder. That would be a terrible shame.

What were they angry about? I can't imagine anyone so upset over lap band surgery that they would murder someone. Soooo sad.

No, from what his office told me it had nothing to do with Ready4Achange and unless you know the whole story with ready4achange you would know what I mean. They said he was putting the larger band in everyone and there are 9 of us that I know and sent personally to him that all have the 4cc's band so it was all a big lie. He washed his hands with ready4achange. The murder was from a robbery means, nothing to do with the lapband surgeries from what they told me.
