Bert,

Your personal experiences, and your success with this surgery

done by another surgeon, are very valuable contributions to this

message board, and I hope that this disturbance does not

hinder you from telling others about it in this forum whenever you

have the opportunity. It's really sad that you were singled out for

speaking positively about something that could affect the lives of

so many others

Heidi and Bert, I agree with Heidi. Bert please continue to tell the good

news about the pancreatectomy and islet cell transplant you received at the

University of Cincinnati. Dr. Sutherland encourages people with pancreatitis to

have the surgery at the hospital that offers it in the patients area. He

encourages doctors and hospitals to be educated and able to perform the surgery

for

people suffering from cp. He teaches doctors how to do the pancreatectomy and

islet cell transplant and then they are able to do the surgery in the

hospital of their choice. Shirley
