Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hi , yes I had the tp-ict last November 16the and am so glad I did. It was a long hard surgery with a long hospital stay, but within 6 weeks I felt better then I had in years and by week 12 I was back in the gym. I had a little issue iwht an internal stich that did not heal, unfortunetly, that I kind of ignored and hoped would go away but has turned out to be a sizeable hernia nd I will need to have it repaired next week. Its really a piece of cake, I am just a big baby when it comes to surgery. I think by the time you are ready for your next year of school you will feel like you are reborn. June 10 is a good time and dont get yourself all stressed out about it. Its not an easy procedure by any means, but from that date on you will have 2 birthdays a year. I do, the day I was born and Nov.16th. The day I was reborn. Keep in touch, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Thanks so much for the advice. I am really scared and i am trying so hard not to think about it, but that is even harder since it is a huge procedure. Did you ever have any doubts about if this is the right surgery for you or not? Can you tell me a little about your experience with the surgery if you don't mind. I sincerely hope that i get to experience two b-days like you do. Oh yeah also before this surgery had you had any previous surgeries to your pancreas? This is something I am worried about. Since some of my pancreas is removed there is the worry about getting enough islet cells. Thanks for you advice.
