Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Hello all, I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Thank you for all the wishes and prayers on my behalf during the time I was in Minnesota getting the pancreatectotomy, splenectomy, appendectomy, and re- section of intestine to my stomach as well as the auto-islet cell transplantation. To make a long story short, I had complications and have been ill for a long time. I spent nine additional days in the hospital here after the month and week in Minnesota. They are still trying to find out the cause of the severe pain I am experiencing as a result of the surgery. Hopefully, it's something that can be corrected easily. If anyone wants more information about the surgery please write to AMSB1986@... and I will try to respond. As it stands we are also still in a legal battle with our insurance. The surgery was $126,000.00,so if they maintain their position of denying the charges, we go to federal court. Love and prayers to all, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Amy, I was just wondering. I am not sure if you are the " Amy " that I am thinking of, but here is my question. Did you initially have SOD then pancreatitis from the SOD ? I am wondering if the surgery is not effective in patients that have the SOD component. Just curious, if you don;t mind me asking.
