Karen, first of all, I hope they are able to help your sister, and that she makes a full recovery. Also, I have heard of several cases of dehydration, hence the need for everyone to drink enough fluids, but I'm curious as to what type of WLS she had, and was she instructed to take vitamins and protein by her surgeon?

Karen, I don't have an answer to your heartbreaking question.I wanted you to know that I will be thinking of you and praying for you and your sister. I am sorry this happened. Someone else passed this verse on to me today, "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. Surely,... I will heal you." 2 Kings 20:5. May you & your family find some rest in Him during this awful process. Please keep us up dated! Heather
