Larry Young Passed Away/FEllow DSer

[Guest guest]

I have sad news from the AMOS site --- A fellow DSer, Larry Young, passed

away this morning. He was in the ICU after surgery for awhile and developed

a wound infection. He was Dr. Husted's first BPD/DS. I am so upset

everytime I read that someone has passed away from the surgery. He was a

large man with a bmi of 88.1 and he was on the path to recovery. It is so

sad to read his surgery comments and reports that he's on clear liquids, able

to get out of the chair and walk a few steps, get his respirator out, etc.

and then this. Here was Diane's latest post from this morning:

I don't know how to say this so I will just let you all know Larry passed

away this moring. He was having some breathing difficulties and we called

Dr.husted in to see us at 1 am.... he ordered blood gasses which came out

fine...shortly there after Larry started turning blue...the staff on the 5th

floor worked on him for nearly an hour but he was allready gone. There is so

much more I could write but I am really hurting....God gave me an angel....

I'm sure his wife Diane would love any kind of support from others on the

list. I don't think Larry was particularly active ont he DS list -- His

surgeon decided that the DS would be better for him than a fobi pouch and

changed procedures (with Larry's knowledge and consent, of course) soon

before the surgery. So, I don't think he had any time to get connected here.

God Bless you, Larry and my heart goes out to his wife and family. If anyone

is interested in finding out more about Larry and/or posting sympathy

messages to his surgery page on AMOS (Association for Morbid Obesity

Support), here's the link:

That is just an unbelievable nightmare. I'm very sorry to hear

that. I wish I could do something to help.
