To Heather's Daddy.... my heart just broke reading what you wrote about your beloved daughter. I am so very very sorry for your loss.

Thom, I am so so very sorry you lost your daughter to this surgery. Thank you for helping to make us all the more aware of our own risks. You are obviously such a wonderful father. I'm sure her time spent here was happy, because of you. Because of you and the story you've posted, maybe someone will research their choices better and choose safer paths to follow in their own lives. Know that all of us here at OH hold you, your family, and your daughter in our hearts every day. --Sandra

Do not stand at my grave and weep, "I am not there, I do not sleep." I am thousand winds that blow; "I am the diamond glints on the snow, "I am the sunlight on ripened grains; "I am the gentle autumn's rain. "When you awake in the morning's hush, "I am the swift uplifting rush "Of the quiet birds in circled flight. "I am the soft star that shines at night." Do not stand at my grave and cry.

My heart felt sympathy on the loss of your daughter. I know it was hard for you to do, but I want to thank you for sharing Heather's story with us.

Thom, My deepest sympathy goes out to you. I didn't see this part of the website until right now 3 weeks post op. I probably would have changed my mind had I read all these entries. I am so very sad for you. God Bless. MAry ELgin

Thom, I am sorry for your lose! I'm waiting for my first appointment with Dr. Quinlin on June 7 and am scared to death!! I was soo sure that this was the only solution and that my decision was sound. After reading of your experience I am really reviewing my reasons to see if maybe there might be something else. I have some serious health concerns and the Dr. feels I need this. I will probably have it done but, I will take your experience to heart and I'll be sure!! I pray my two children 8 and 5 won't be left behind with nothing to hold onto but memories.

Tom, I just wanted to let you know that I'm very sorry for the lost of your daughter. Heather was lucky to have a father like you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I would like to thank you for sharing you story. Honesty, if I had read your story before I had my surgery I probably would not have had it done. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO GO ON.

Dearest Thom~ I am so sorry to read of Heather's passing. She sounds like a wonderful human being and much too young to die. I know her loss must leave a terrible emptiness in your life. I lost a very special person in an automobile accident on July 10, 1997. My life has never been the same since. The pain changes but never goes away. I also wanted to thank you for taking the time to come to this website and post Heather's information. I know that it must have been very painful for you to do. I think you've made a very valid point in regard to Heather's death and the statisics for WLS. I think posting her information here will make a difference in someone's life. Thank you and Godbless.
