Darleene Harris
Katy, You can get her story from her surgery support page as her daughter, Lisa and husband, Ken kept it updated. Warning it is very sad. Might not be a good idea if your fixing to have surgery. You must remember that her story is not the norm. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.

Darlene passed away in late February.. Her body shut down. Not necessarily because of the surgery. Her starting BMI was 111 and she was older.
There are far more success stories than tragedies..
Darlene was so courageous and brave and strong. I admire her more than anyone I have found on this site.
I stay in touch with her daughter and she is thinking of writing a book using her mother's notes.
I'll be the 1st in line for my copy!!!!
