I didn't think they were supposed to operate on the morbidly obese. Such patients here in the states (at least in CA) are required to get their weight down to a managable level first. At her weight I'm surprised the surgeon couuld even find her organs.

The article says that 12 doctors turned her down before she found one who would do the surgery.

She was told all the risks—what I wonder is whether her family will probably try to sue the doctor over her death regardless.
