WLS Patient Dies

This is just a little news item, but it is sad.

"Renee Williams, the 841-pound woman thought to be the largest ever to receive gastric bypass surgery, died Sunday night of a massive heart attack. Williams, 29, had undergone the increasingly popular solution to morbid obesity on Feb. 20 and was thought to be progressing well in the week and a half thereafter, said officials at Houston's Renaissance Hospital, where she had the surgery. But hospital officials today announced the sudden turn of events."

Wow, she was only 29. Here is a little article about her before she had the surgery, explaining how she gained the weight. (She was bedridden after an accident with a drunk driver crushed her leg.)
