Stephanie Capek (StephanieAZ)
I am deeply saddened by this....i too am a band revision, and had serious complications immediately after surgery. I am blessed to have made it through. This surgery its very very complex and risky. Its so important to do ask your research and chose your surgeon wisely. Rip Stephanie, my heart goes out to the family.
Thank you everyone for your kind words. It means a lot. I have to admit though that as much as she meant to me, she meant that for a lot of people. The impact Stephanie made in the online world is quite amazing. butercup was the one who first told me and together we informed everyone. It hasn't been easy but I know it's not easy for anyone right now.
It's going to be a few days until we hear more from the autopsy. When we do hear more I'll post a new thread.
I also wanted to thank everyone for keeping our thoughts about her surgeon to a minimum and keeping it for a separate thread. It means so much to me.
*hugs* nothing hurts more than death of a friend, even if it is someone you knew online. I'm certain though from what I've seen done on this forum already that we can use this experience for the better and help educate other pre-ops.

I've been upset for two days over this. I feel so very sorry for her and her loved ones. I can only imagine how she must have felt. The desperation to lose weight. I totally relate to that. I read the "Morbid" post she wrote not very long ago, and I am deeply saddened for her.
Hearing this news also has made me question some things. I have an 11 month old son and a husband. I don't want to end up in a similar situation. The idea of something happening to me and them being left alone is something I cannot handle even thinking about. In saying that, I also know that I will end up in the same position - or worse - if I don't get the weight off. Heartbreaking. My heart aches for her and her family.
