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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
