Hi

Welcome to the group. Ouch, chronic pancreatitis, is

miserable. I'm sorry this has happened to you. I saw

quite a few patients with it, when I worked as an RN.

Which surgical procedure will you be having? Do you

have any idea what caused the pancreatitis to develop?

Here is a useful site that you, and others might find

interesting.

Once again, I am sorry this has happened to you.

Welcome to the group.
