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.

My wife is a surgical PA. The stories she tells about the OR crew trying to move the morbidly obese is just gross.

The problem with a super huge woman like the above is that the OR table won't support such an one.

Or their fat is rolling all over the place, like a lump of dough.

I doubt it would go too far considering she was given less than a year to live before she had the surgery...
