Tracy Mayes of Lancaster died about two months after laparoscopic
Tracy Mayes of Lancaster died about two months after laparoscopic bypass surgery. Also known as stomach stapling, the woman underwent treatment for morbid obesity. Mayes weighed about 375 pounds, said Dr. Bruce Fagel, attorney for the family. Her surgery was successful, but doctors missed an opportunity to correct a post-surgery because the radiologist misread a surgery problem or didn't properly communicate the reading of an X-ray. According to court documents, 12 hours passed before doctors correctly diagnosed Mayes' problems, and she was in shock when they rushed her into surgery. She underwent dozen more surgeries in the next two months until she died on Feb. 13, 2001. - The Law Offices of Bruce G. Fagel & Associates
