Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 , you've got my prayers that someone helps you soon. Someone's got to have their head on straight.

Are you saying that you have the shakes because of pain meds? If so why are you trying to get off them. Dr. Sutherland operates on people who are on pain meds and when they are discharged from MN hospital their doc at home gradually reduces their meds. I am concerned about your bP and your low weight. You make that doc put you on tpn and stay on it until they put you under for the surgery. They will remove it from you. Take care and I will be praying for you. Oct 7th right?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 , I'm also from N'awlins Dawlin. I'm 29 soon to be thirty. I was wondering what GI doc you see and if you were going to MN to have the Islet Cell surgery. I'm leaving on the 16 of Oct for MN and will be operated on the 21 Dr. Sutherland will be doing my surgery which will be the Pancreatectomy with an Islet cell transplant. Dr. Creely did my whipple in March of 2001 which was a complete success for almost two years and then problems. He recommended Dr.Sutherland so I am excited that this will do the trick I have been in contact with Dr.Sutherland who essures me that this will correct any problems that I have. If you also go to ejgh let me know I am a frequent flyer there. I know what it is!!!!! It's all this good fatinning food that we have and are known for.... Well Good luck, J.
