To Russell's loved ones ~ please take comfort knowing Russell was doing something he really thought was best. We can't control all things that happen in our lives and some things seem so overwhelming. May God shelter you in His loving arms and wrap you in His Spirit. I will take comfort in knowing there is one more angle looking out for me. My most heartfelt sorrow for your loss.

To Douglas, Russell's partner, to all of Russell's family and friends.... I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. Russell seemed like a great guy from all the posts I read. I applaud his decision to have this surgery. I am sure he knew the risks and yet he was choosing a new path for his life. We never know how these things are going to work out. God bless you Russell, I'm sure you are in Heaven, checking on all of us.

I am soooo sorry to hear this!!! My prayers go out to his partner and family. At least he went thinking he was on his way to being thinner. So that was a happy thought in his mind.

Hello everyone I had a wonderful friend. His name was Russell. He was one of the best supporters on my ossg400+ list. On Sunday and Monday we were all sending him messages of support and our best wishes and prayers. His surgery was Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon his Angel got a call from Douglas, Russell's partner. Russell had come through the surgery with flying colours and was doing fine. We all sent congratulatory wishes to him, it is so exciting when someone has their surgery!!! especialy for us SMO people. I went to bed last night with a happy song in my heart for Russell. This morning I did what I usually do. Read my email and then head straight to my ossg groups. I found out at this time that at 6pm last night, Russell, who had been doing so well, threw a blood clot and passed away. It has been a long and horrible day. Russell was one of the sweetest people you would ever meet. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was the first one to offer support and help. Those of us on ossg400+ are in shock. How could this happen to "our" Russell (for that is how we all thought of him)? It is terrifying. Russell was having the exact same surgery I am. I will not, however, let this fear change my decision. Russell would not have wanted that. He would want each of us to make the decision that is right for us and so that is what I will be doing. Russell was frightened too, but his strength and courage were an inspiration to us all. I think this is one of the reasons he was so well loved in our Group. So when I go into surgery, I will be doing what is right for me, and I will be drawing on the strength and courage of Russell. I'll have an extra angel watching over me.
