Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi Chrissie, How are you doing ? I hope that you're coping okay at work. I saw my pancreatic surgeon yesterday. The piece of pancreas that i had left - well, my surgeon performs duodenum preserving pancreatectomy, which means a small amount of pancreatic tissue is left which maintains the blood supply to the duodenum. In my case, this piece which they left became inflammed and had to be removed. Now, i have only a very tiny amount of pancreatic tissue - as far as i'm concerned i don't have any, or that's what he tells me. I am going to see my diabetes consultant on tuesday, and i shall discuss pumps with him. Keep smiling Sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
