You Never Know

Dec 16, 2010

I wrote yesterday of the loss of my dear friend Kim.  She had bypass surgery earlier this year, and many of you have asked if her surgery caused her passing.  At this time, all I can say is, I don't think so.  She had a massive heart attack.  I have been doing some research and it seems like that is a very very rare thing to have happen due to bypass surgery.  One thing we all have to remember is, along with obesity we have comorbidities.  She had other issues she was dealing with, and was over 430 pounds before surgery, and had been that heavy for a long time.  Honestly, I don't know exactly what caused her heart attack, but I do not believe it was a direct result of having gastric bypass surgery.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and prayers.
