It's been 2 years since Jess surgery. I cannot thank enough the surgeon and people that made tpiat an option. How our lives have changed. Cannot believe the jess 2 years after and the jess 2 years before the op. She is doing so well and getting ready for uni next year to study nursing. Health wise the transplant they did has worked so well she is off insulin. Unfortunately she does get low sugar often and has ended up back in hospital to treat it. But looking back would rather have this than all she went through before the op. The one thing that sticks with me is jess would be in so much pain and I have been told by the surgeon, pancreas pain is one of the worst pains and we would be told by drs they can't give her painkillers because she will become an addict. How can you let a child go through so much pain and tell her to live her life. The best thing was finding out about this surgery. Never give up!
