2 yrs ago I had a normal BMI of 25, ate healthy foods, worked out 3-4x week, and woke up and had excruciating pain I had trouble breathing, called an ambulance and discovered I have Chronic Pancreatitis, familial hyper triclycidemia, and diabetes.
Spent 2 months in the hospital recovering.
Now, my BMI is 41, take 300units of U500 insulin 3 times daily, On a very strict 1800-2000calorie/day diet, Take 96,000units of creon to digest my food, at times still have dumping syndrome, have trouble exercising, my quality of life went from Awesome to horrible because of sudden pancreatic failure. I have seen every specialist, Now I’m told in order to lose weight I need R&Y Bariatric Surgery… I’m going to go for it because I want my life back. Am I a unicorn or has this happened to anyone else on this board.
