Wipple Surgery - the After Effects Posted: 07-15-05 23:59pm
My dad just had the wipple surgery because
he had pancreatic cancer, it was
successful and they removed the tumor.
But I am curious about a few things, even
if they removed it will it come back? And
if then what?
And since his surgery was a success, does
he have a better chance of survival now?

If its been successful then its looking
good!
However, cancer can still return as many
times as it likes, just because he's had
it before doesnt mean he wont have it
again, but dont panic we all have a chance
of getting cancer your dad has no greater
or smaller chance then me or you getting
it. If it did come back id say your dad
had a slight advantage he's been through
this before so he knows what to expect and
how to deal with it.

I am a 40 year old woman who underwent one
of the1st wipple surgeries in around 1989.
I had a 12 hour surgery and it is in the
medical books. I was born with an abnormal
pancreas and had chronic pancreatic
attacks since I was 18 i lived in te
hospital it was emotionally and physically
draining. I m now 40 years old with a
healthy 11 year old son I am not a
diabetic. I have had alot of different
surgeries to but I am healthy otherwise
and happy to be alive but i do struggle
with my emotions since I have been through
so much. If anyone would like to talk or
ask me any questions feel free. I am
happy to have a healthy family6 and that
is what keeps me happy.

wipple surgery 8/13/07 Posted: 04-11-08 08:13am
Hello there! I am a new comer to this site
and I'd like to start by saying that I
feel truly blessed. I do get depressed
alot because of what I've been through
with my diagnosis and surgery, but I try
to pick myself up, pray and keep going.
Those of you out there who are feeling
particularly down and/or out, may I
suggest prayer. It does work! I am having
major problems with what I can and cannot
eat and need some suggestions. What types
of foods seem to agree with those who have
had this surgery?
