Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 My insurance company finially approved my pancreas surgery. It didn't take as long as I thought it would, only a couple of weeks. My surgery will be on September 24th and I have to be there on the 22nd to do a history, physical, and possible blood transfusion. Dr. Sutherland is doing my surgery at Fairview Hospital-University of Minnesota. I hope this will take care of all this pain once and for all. He will be doing a total pancreadectomy with auto islet transplant. I am not diabetic at this point and Dr. Sutherland said I have a 75% chance of not being diabetic. I really don't know what to expect out of all this. Too many what if's! I am glad I have had this group to learn a lot more about this disease. Thanks everyone!!
