Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 The Beger procedure is a surgical procedure for the treatment of pancreatitis that has primarily enlargment of the head of the pancreas. it was designed by a German surgeon some time ago. It is just like a whipple but does not remove the duodenum, bile duct, and the antrum of the stomach. If you look on the link we have for MUSC DDC you will find it under the section 'surger' then 'pancrea' or vice a versa. I had this procedure march of 04. I saw the surgeon today, the one who did my Beger, and unfortunelty the news was still not good. He feels that I have some twisting or something along those lines of my small instestine and will require an open surgery to straghten it all out. He wants me to have some testing done next week, a barium swallow. I broke down in the office, sobbing uncontrollabley, God I hate when that happens, and I tried so hard to stay strong. I went in thinking " OK, I'll go for the laporascope for the adhesions " He felt around my belly, and it hurt. I will go back again on Wednesday after I leave radiology that morning. Hey Angie, if you are reading this maybe we can meet for coffee. I think we will both be needing something by that time. What I wouldn't give for just one ounce of good news to come my way. Just one thing. I really dont think I have it in me any more to hold on to hope. He told me as he was leaving that I would be fine, that we would get it all straightened out. I told him I have lost faith in that. I sure do miss that faith, that purpose behind everything. Now I am just trying to figure out what I did so terrible to deserve this harsh a punishment. I dont know, guess I never will. Hope every body else is having a better day then I have and is doing the best they can. If the person who was asking about the Beger pronouced " BAygur " needs more info, just let me know I would be happy to answer all that I can.
