My condolences to you and his family.

My daughter has a friend that her mom has also had this surgery and she has
been in and out of the hospital on a regular basis for one ailment or
another and all stems from this surgery. My daughter told me that she had
to have emergency surgery to have her appendix removed this week. My
daughter has also told me that she will stand between me and the doctor if I
even consider this surgery at all. The bad thing is my doctor, who is see
about every 6 months for another problem, not related to weight, asks me
every time I see him if I would consider this surgery. I have told him
emphatically every time that I am NOT interested and to please stop
mentioning it to me, as I feel there are too many risks with this surgery
and the risks out weigh the benefits tremendously.

Anyone who is thinking or planning to have this surgery, please
reconsider. I just came back from a wake of a co-worker who died after
suffering complications two days after surgery. I could not talk him out
of it. He said that he knew the risks involved. All I can do now is pray
for his family.
