Hi, I made a post last year about my wife being on the transplant list for a pancreas due to erratic type 1 diabetes, that was being controlled with a pump. In June of last year she had the transplant and now almost 8 months later she is doing great. The only way to describe it really is since that Saturday morning when she had it done she hasn’t had a high or low or anywhere near one.
There was a second operation on the Tuesday following the operation due to air bubbles around the new pancreas but after that she was home ( albeit very tender) on the Friday night.
She is back at work now and has just started going to the gym to train for a charity walk early next year.
If anyone had any questions regarding the surgery or recovery I can try and answer them.
There is a second surgery where she will have the new pancreas grafted to her gut but this is on the back burner as she hasn’t had any bladder problems.
Just a FYI, the last time I did this I had a few people said “this doesn’t happen without the a kidney transplant as well”. I am fully aware of this.
Also there was a few people who wondered why my wife had decided to take such a let’s say drastic procedure. All I can say is this is what she wanted to do mainly for a better quality of life.
I’m not sure it matters but if anyone wanted to know we are from the uk
