Woman who suffered brain damage after receiving plastic surgery in Mexico dies, family says
OK, I already have brain damage, so I'm not worried about that, as much as I am about hitting the Pearly Gates right now.

A Dallas woman who traveled to Mexico to receive plastic surgery and suffered brain damage from the anesthesia used in the procedure has died, her sister said in a statement posted to Facebook on Saturday.
“My heart aches, and I truly don’t know how or if I’ll ever overcome this pain,” Angie Avila said in the post, noting that her sister Laura Avila died shortly after 8 a.m.
“I love you, Laura Avila. Thank you for being the best sister in the world.”
The death was confirmed by the family’s attorney, who in a statement to ABC affiliate WFAA urged Americans against being lured across the border with promises of cheap plastic surgery.
“So that her death is not in vain, people should think of Laura before they look for cross border discount surgery,” attorney Larry Friedman said in the statement. “They should do their homework and investigate the experience, training and track record of anyone BEFORE they sign up. Always LOOK before you leap!"
