Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Hello i was just wandering if anyone has had a TPI or is considering it. THis past summer i went to the mayo clinic and then weht to dr. Sutherlands office in Minnesota. I am considering the surgery but i am very worried of all the unknown I just wanted to hear some stories about it. I have heard that the success rate is a lot lower for previous patients who had surgeries. I have had the pustewo(sp) and a second one where they removed scar tissue. I know tha ti will become diabetic and that scares me as well. It's like i am trading one thing for another. I feel like i have bee dealing with pancreatitis for 20 years now and i know how to handel it the best way possible and then i will take on diabetes which is a whole new thing to adapt to. I don't know if anyone can help that would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
