Hello, my father had chronic pancreatitis and had to go through the Whipple procedure as it was the only option for him according to every doctor we visited, the operation was nearly three years ago but unfortunately he’s still losing an enormous amount of weight as he lost nearly 120 lb, he is still not able to eat a complete meal without getting diarrhea and stomach pain, he is a walking skeleton and people get terrified of the way his body and face looks, he’s not taking any vitamins or supplements and his diet is so light, any information that helps his case would be much appreciated, thanks.

Is your father taking Creon with each meal? Does his doctor have a dietician in clinic?
My surgeon does and I find it extremely helpful to work with her. Especially after surgery.
If he cannot afford creon there are alternatives. The key is to learn how to manage it as one eats. This is not normal; a doctor should be addressing this pronto
