Hello!! I am new to this group but not to pancreatitis. I was diagnosed

with pancreatitis in March 2002. Since then I have been in and out of

the hospital several times. The worst was in July 2002. I was in for 24

days and then out for another month with a NG feeding tube. I have had

10 stent replacements in the last year and on Tuesday I have to go back

and get a nerve block. I have never had the nerve block but my doctor

says I am running out of options. I have an appointment scheduled with

the surgeons on June 7th for a total pancreatectomy. I am kind of

worried about them removing the whole thing. I don't know what other

options are left for me though. I go to the best doctors that are

somewhat close to me. Dr. Marty Freeman from HCMC in Minneapolis and Dr.

Sielaff at University of Minnesota. It is a 6 hour drive for me!

My chronic pancreatitis was caused from alcohol which I haven't had

since June 30th 2002. Right now I am taking OxyContin, Percocet,

Pancrease, and Celexa. I would like to talk to someone who can relate to

my problems and maybe have gone through it themselves.
