DRK Hospital Berlin Koepenick

I was picked up by a cab in the morning, to be driven to Berlin Koepenick DRK Hospital. A well-known specialist centre for such procedures.

Tests and preparation

The next days, they took blood, put me into different machines to look inside me. The pictures made with X-Rays, MRT and ultrasonic.

The surgeon visited and explained the situation. “The procedure is mayor because we need to go very deep into you. We will remove a part of your pancreas and re-connect your stomach. It will last four to five hours. We use a tube inside your spline to sedate you as needed, you will feel nothing and be deeply asleep.”

He continued to explain side effects, possible complications and more. I wasn’t really interested, because I have no choice, what happens will happen.
