do ya'll think?

It certainly has been in my case. My panc has been cut on twice then

removed. I consider November 16, 2004 another birthday; the day I had

the tp-auto ict.

Yes, i also think that removing the pancreas is more successful than cutting

it. I previously had a distal pancreatectomy prior to a total, so can speak

from experience.

Hi ,

I had the gall bladder removed, followed by distal pancreactectomy (tail of

the pancreas), then the total pancreactectomy. Since then i have had a bowel

obstruction caused by adhesions, which has required surgery. Despite this, and

being diabetic, i donot regret the decision to have the TP at all, and would

definately make the same decision again. If you want any more info, please

contact me.
