Total Pancreatectomy.almost died

[Guest guest]

Hello to everyone. I had my pancreas removed on July 22nd. The islet cell

transplant didn't work. I am now a type 1 diabetic. I ended up having 3

operations instead of one. My incision busted open, I had a leak in my

intestines.

I came home with only 25% of my stomach, a lileostomy bag, and a diabetic.

I thank everyone for all of their prayers. If it hadn't of been for the

prayers I would have died. I was on a ventilator for almost 2weeks. They were

going to put in a trek in my throat but I started breathing on my own. My

stomach was left open, some of it has come together, but I still have big

gaps in my stomach.

The hardest thing is dealing with the ostomy bag. And at times I have trouble

giving my self a shot. I have lost 25 pounds. But it is good to be alive and

to be home.

Have to go for now, still am very weak,

Lots of Love and Hugs,

Tammy - TN
