[QUOTE="anniehi41, post: 689189, member: 51451"] Don't even think about having it removed if it's not medically necessary. I know what I'm talking about I had to have mine removed and it's a major, major operation. I was in hospital a month, four days in Intensive Care and It's taken me about two years to get back to anything like normal. I have to take 12 digestive enzymes a day to help digest my food, and my diabetes is brittle and so hard to control. Also without a Pancreas you cannot produce glucagon and in the event of a serious hypo you have no back up to save you so without a Pancreas hypos are much more frightening. You hang on to your Pancreas its a very important organ even though it doesn't produce insulin. [/QUOTE]
