Prayers to you !!
Wish you luck with the Whipple surgery - it is currently the best way to go if you can get it done.
Will you be in the hospital for the entire time your primary surgeon is away? My only suggestion I can give you - find out who will be the primary contact and secondary backup and try to at least meet them beforehand. Just make sure that your family team knows who to get in touch with if needed.

If all goes as planned, the surgeon said I would be in the hospital for 6-8 days, and then in a nearby hotel for 2-6 days. My surgery is on a Thursday and she will be back the next Thursday. So she will be at the hospital for my last two hospital days. At the last appt, we did meet the resident doctor who works with the surgeon. The rest of my team (oncologist, etc) will be at the hospital (available) during my stay. Thank you for your suggestions.
