MBC Anyone hear about a Mexico Bariatric Center patient passing away this weekend?

[SerendipityHappens 1,594]

I was expecting this post. How sad. You have absolutely NO clue what happened, but already you sweep it under the rug as an 'unfortunate' event. First you jump to the conclusion that the OP had to have been making this up, and now you assume it was an accident.

And yes, research can make a difference! Were compression stocking used during and after surgery? How about blood thinners? Why does this company have FOUR deaths in 6 months?!?!

In honor of the patient who passed away, let us not make assumptions.

And Alex, these are not rumors. A patient DID pass away.

A patient did pass away.. But no one has address the rumored other patients. I for one would like more information about this.. Clearly this individual has access to information beyond that of a regular patient so details of WHO the doctors in question were and the circumstances surrounding the deaths should be provided.

I'm not sure that is exactly accurate, either. After all, without all these "crazy people" would you know that Mexico was an option? Would you have found your surgeon/coordinator/hospital? There's nothing wrong with taking what people say with a grain of salt and determining on your own what works for you. That's certainly not the same as thinking that everyone here has an ulterior motive or is "crazy".

As a matter of fact, I sure would have known about Mexico and finding Drs is not a problem either its just a matter of a google search for mexico gastric sleeve surgery. I did not need to come to this forum to to find a Dr or a cordinator either. I had already found plenty of Coordinator/Dr web sites! I came here to get honest opinions from people who have had good and bad experiences there and from what Drs they had used. I have had some PM message conversations from some really nice people and I apologize for using the word "all" in reference to the crazy people on this site. I do not think that everyone on here is crazy but let me tell you one thing, it is quite obvious that there is in fact a great deal of craziness going on around here.

You've crossed a line here.

As far as I know, there is nothing that prevents any person from posting on any forum/thread, with the exception of the vet's forum. That boundary exists for a reason. Namely, because people who post frequently and have been post-op for a while have and need different interactions than those who are say, new members or newly post-op.

Just like those of us who are post-op respond to threads in the pre-op forum, women post in the men's room, etc., people are welcome to post where they find interest. We are all here on this forum because we ultimately have something in common.

I don't think you are you qualified, after 19 days of membership, to say that anything about anyone here with any certainty.

First of all I did not mention anyones name but you and Susan obviously know who Im talking about and apparently so do alot of others cause its amazing how many private messages I have received from people agreeing with me, and all in a matter of minutes. Seems people are just to scared to say it for fear of being brought down. Seems their is one rule for certain people and another for the rest of us. GOOD DAY!

I have never seen this dichotomy of rules, which you seem to think exists.

If one person attacks another, like you just did, it's removed...regardless of who does the attacking. You were purposefully ugly and it wasn't warranted. You are welcome to block people's posts if you don't care for them. The internet is no different than real life...some people you interact with just won't be your cup of tea. That's fine. Accusing people of being crazy and other things that have no basis in fact is not the accepted way to handle differences of opinion, in any social circle I've ever seen. Frankly, it just undermines your point of view when you can't back it up intelligently rather than attacking.

Ohh...yummy...I will have to look for that one! I actually had a glass of moscato out somewhere not long ago and was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the best rate affordable moscatos is *extremely affordable...like $6 a bottle! It seems to just jump in my cart, when I wheel down that aisle in the store.

I've got a bottle of red that's ready for me to add some frozen strawberries and practice the fine art of sipping. Sipping is highly recommended postop...
