Our appt. with Dr Sutherland went very well. We all say down and talked for about and hour. He once again agreed that I was a great candidate for the surgery. He said he has previous patients who got pregnant before the transplant, had a good pregnancy and then had the transplant after the baby was born and are going great. He gave me the contact number of a woman my age in MS who has the almost exact situation as me. I hope to contact her very soon.
Dr. Sutherland said he has done 375 transplants in 30 years! Only 2 out of 375 were Lap transplants. The others left the large scar from the major incision down the entire belly. He said the Lap transplant takes around 16-18 hours where the large incision takes 12-14. He would try the Lap if I wanted him to, but could not promise once he got in there he could do it. It would just depend on what he finds.... Like Dr Freeman, he wants me to focus on the baby now and when its born if I am still hurting contact him for the transplant. I am staying very optimistic that between my pregnancy horomones and God a miracle will happen and the pain will go away for good!
