Re: Dr. Sutherland Appointment Tuesday--&note to Karyn

[Guest guest]

Darren I am very happy that you are seeing Dr. Sutherland. Its like

your seeing the Dalai Lama of pancreatic surgeons...(jk). I do hope

it works out for you. I will be having the tp/ict soon, I hope

anyway I haven't been scheduled yet. Good luck!

I am curious of one thing that Karyn had said;, also that the spinal

nerves innervating into the pancreas are

> still solid and unnerved by the disease. (...get it..un-nerved?!)

>

Karyn is there some kind of issue with with those nerves that I am

unaware; well obviously....LOL. I would appreciate it if you would

explain that a little bit. I do like the way you explain things. I

printed out the malabsorptions posts to refer back too. There are a

lot of issues with maintaining my nutritional status after a total

that I will need to figure out as well.

I understand that I will be a diabetic for some time after the

procedure, but it should be tempory. Monitorring will be the key.

I think I will get one of those monitors that keep a log of the

results. I have issues with compliancy as well....LOL.

Darren I hope that all goes well with your appt with Dr. Sutherland,

thank him on behalf of all of us. He is an amazing person and I

have never even met him. Thank you Karyn for all your input, I

appreciate it.

Warmly,

Chrissy
