Sad News...

It's been quite a while since I posted, I am 3 years post op & just finished a 2nd round of plastic surgery. About 10 days ago, I lost a very good friend of mine, Pat Collins. She had her RNY the same week I did 3 years ago this month & never recovered from the complications of the surgery. Please keep her family in your prayers. Debbie Cooper

Debbie, I am so sorry and sad to hear about Pat. I had wondered how she was doing. She had the surgeon I was going to have and you all talked me out of going to him, because of what she was going through. Perhaps in a way she saved my life. Emily

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. If you wouldn't mind I would like to hear more about what happen to her. I am looking int WLS but with Fernandez in Winston. I will be praying for you lose and her family. Cathy

Cathy, I see you are looking into the surgery at Wake Forest/Baptist with Dr Fernandez. I had my surgery with him almost 2 years ago.....if you would like to talk, just email me. Susan

Susan I am trying to have WLS with Dr Fuzz. I have been trying for 2 yrs. My insurance has been a pain in the ass - to put it midly!! I would love to know how you feel about Dr Fuzz & how your surgery went & how you are doing now. Gina

I'm sorry to hear about Pat. I'm pretty sure I know her sister and have met Pat a time or two. She had a long hard struggle.

I'm sorry that Pat's journey is over and that she didn't prosper as a result of her surgery. It's so sad that an attempt to regain life will take it away. Her family will be in my prayers. Hugs, Rebecca

Debbie, I never post anymore and rarely come here to the state board. I did tonight, and I am so very saddened by this news. I was so scared for Pat when she found out exactly what had been done to her and that she was in the fight for her life, I never thought she would pass so quickly. I will pray for her family, this is truly a tragedy. Rachel
