Nine patients are planning to sue a doctor after they received a radical weight loss surgery and suffered brain damage, infections and malnutrition as a result. Lawyers are claiming that a tenth patient has died as a result of negligent pre- and post-operative care related to the stomach surgery. Most of the claims are not against the surgery that was performed but the care that was advised after surgery.
