Hi Elizabeth
i saw your posting today and had to reply. like you, i too was very very sad to hear about someone dieing. Since i have been finding out about WLS, my sister's sister-in-law had been having major problems with her weight and diabetis. first she had a operation to lose some toes, then another to have her foot cut off, then finally to have her leg amputated up to the knee. She was in a wheelchair and in November 2002 she started going blind and died just a few days before christmas. I was so pained by all of this and know she would be alive today if she had had WLS. I had WLS in August 2002 and i would gladly have swopped places with her if i could have as i do not have as many health problems as she had. You were so right to have this, you know it saved your life - and congratulations on going the century club.
May God bless you on this special journey
kind regards
