Introductions Are In Order

Hello - my name is Lee Jackson, and I have a bit of a story to share.  It involves a bit of drama, a bit of comedy, a touch of cruel irony, and a huge chunk of physical pain.  It's complicated, to the point where it could be considered by some to be embellished or even made up.  Nevertheless, I swear it is true, from the start to wherever the finish may happen.

I will be changing names here and there to protect the innocent (especially myself and my family, mainly from lawsuits), but I will not be changing any of the facts to the best of my knowledge.  Granted, I may be a bit hazy on some of the facts, but on those points I will bring in my wife to confirm what actually happened.

The story begins on December 11th, 2009 at a certain hospital in the city of Dallas, Texas, where I had what was supposed to be a routine gastric bypass operation to help me lose weight.  What followed was anything but routine.
