Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Suzanne Cassie and I have been discussing this procedure more and more the last few months. I know at this point in time she is not anywhere as server as either one of your boys but if this prevents her from getting to that point it's worth checking into. She has had a say in her care from the start and though she was aprehensive she did agree to both procedures she's already had. She really has a big interest in this but has lots of questions from a a kids point of view, could you get me a little input from your boys. She wants to know how long they were away from schoolwork. how many tubes did they have and for how long. How long after procedure till they could eat " real " food. Prior to eating real food how'd they get feed. Pain, pain pain. How much pain, how long, how does it compare to pancreatitis pain. Would they do it all over again if they had to. She also reads many of the posts and wants to know what the took out besides the pancreas and if they had any problems. And she wants to know what its like to eat french fries again and pepperoni pizza. Did both boys have procedure done at Mass General? Who were the surgeons? Thanks.
