Seriously, go back and read the long thread from when the story came out. It may help with a bit of perspective.
Sad and tragic when someone is lost, but if we focus on the isolated incidents such as the one in this story, we risk losing sight of all the posts everyday telling us of the new joy, victories, uneventful recoveries and goals met by having this surgery.
We all owe it to ourselves to keep the good, the bad and the ugly in mind on our journey.

It's interesting that we never hear about the many people who die during other types of surgery. It's all about fat bias and the belief that fat people are taking the easy way out with WLS (if only they knew how much work it is!). The Ottawa Civic Hospital has been doing WLS for many years, and I believe this is the first fatality.
