    Reagan, thank you for your comments, you\’re right on. D Wetmore you\’re absolutely correct too. Folks, this was ELECTIVE surgery. If Mr. Weis didn\’t want to take the risk he could have tried diet and exercise. But he took the risk and now won\’t take responsibility for his own decision, how pathetic. I assume his next lawsuit is going to be directed at McDonald\’s for making him fat.

    Ok so what if it was an accident he has still be so injured he needed 10 surgeries -lucky to be alive and should be thankful send him over to Ethiopia and he is dead at the scene. This country is so screwed up with a totally unrealistic expectations from our ailing healthcare delivery system —keep bashing doctors and we will end up having our healthcare delivered to us by lawyers and at that point they will have made themselves immune to the same justice system that created this nightmare.

    Obviously you sit on what little brains God gave you. I have a rare disease and there are no medications that can controll it nor does diet, exercise or anything else make it better.

    I wish for you a disease like I have but not on you. On someone you are deeply about so all you can do is sit and watch all the suffering.

    The only thing that is smaller than your mind is your ability to suffering that poor health actually can cause another.

    Try taking a tour of cancer hospital. Hopefully it won\’t be because you are starting treatment.

    What percentage of the population truly has the \”glandular\” problem and cannot control their weight? Probably a small percentage. The rest are lazy and have no willpower. As I have stated before, obesity doesn\’t happen over night. It takes years of abuse before you become morbidly obese. And in that time you ignored the many warning signs, many of which would have come from a doctor had you been serious and responsible for your health. And every surgery has risks. The article didn\’t describe the negligence, so unless the doctors left sponges in the patient, deal with it. People die everyday and doctors do their best to prevent this. Unfortunately, sometimes there is nothing you can do to stop the natural course of life.

    Yes, Been There, OF COURSE, you have a rare and insufferable disease. Whah. And of course, just like your ilk, you wish terrble and awful things to befall anyone who disagrees with you. I wish for you, that you live a very long life with your miserable self. I\’m so happy you DIDN\’T die on the table. Try not to cry when you look at the empty pillow next you every night.

    You still do not get it. YOU made the comment about me almost dying because I neglected my health etc. That was YOUR comment.

    FACT. You have no idea what you are talking about as you have not been in that position.

    Fact I am not alone as I have a very supportive wife and family.

    Fact. You have absolutly no idea of what you are talking about as proven by your cold and medically uneducated statement.

    It is a good thing this journal allows anyone qualified or not the the right to post statements that are truley unfounded such as yours.

    Before you speak or write you need to engage your brain and think about what you are writing.

    By the way, when I found out the doctor had made a grevious error I did NOT sue.

    Can you say you would do the same if you were in my position? ? ?

    Aw, c\’mon Chuck, there is plenty of love! Love for the all you can eat buffet, the open all night fast food restaurants, the tv & couch… heck, I love the gym where I work out. Wait a minute, I strained a muscle there last week. Quick, I need a lawyer! Gotta be somebody with deep pockets I can sue!!
