Hello @michellesimpson10,
I am glad to hear that you are finding these posts to be helpful to you as you move forward with surgery. We have so many members who have also faced this surgery and they offer wonderful encouragement as their share their journey.
Prior to planning this surgery, have other treatment options been used or is surgery the option that was first suggested? Have you had any problems with your blood sugar?

This is my first treatment option for this condition. They said I could wait and see but I am not willing to let something grow inside me that will get worse. My dad was adopted and I only have half my medical history. Also I was stationed at Camp LeJeune
My blood sugars have been very high and uncontrolled for the last year and a half. I have a lot of stomach pain, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, pancreatitis, and abdominal swelling.
