WHIPPLE PROCEDURE
I am a male subject. I am 71 years old. I had the Whipple in May of 2004. My
large tumor turned out to be non-cancerous. Still it is the same operation,
but no Chemo or radiation afterwords. I stayed in the hospital for 12 days. I
can honestly say I suffered no pain. My eating habits have finally returned
to normal, although my body functions have not. I have at least three
movements daily, as well as many flatulations. All in all, now that I have
been home for
@ three months, I cannot say the procedure was that bad. Don
