I still cannot gather how my Mom was to lose 100 lbs in less than 1 month to have her surgery (Deb asked the Dr's at her hospital and even they say they have rarely if ever heard of someone needing to lose that much weight in that short a period of time). Her colon issue along with the huge hernia (Which caused her weight to rise to 320 lbs.) left it impossible to lose that weight needed to decrease the risks of surgery.

Sadly, Mom gained 60+ lbs in the 2 weeks from the day of the surgery on March 7,2005 to the time she was weighed on a autopy slab March 22,2005 - Trust me, I have had nightmares reading the medical reports/autopsy reports on how she died (I have them immediately to my right - all 400+ pages from Feb.1,2005 to March 22,2005) so I try to not read them anymore.

Of course MRMC was going to play the obesity card on Mom's health, so my family is unable to file a wrongful death suit. But don't you think it is weird that the autopsy results state "the weight gain was caused by a previous surgery"? Even one of MRMC's asshat doctors said the exact same thing!
