That seems like a LOT to remove if you don't have cancer. What are you/doctors hoping to prevent? Are there pre-cancerous cysts or lesions on all those organs? Do you have gene mutations that pre-dispose you to cancer of those organs?

My pylorus-preserving Whipple procedure removed gall bladder, duodenum, and half the pancreas. It was pretty invasive. At age 59, it took me about 7 weeks of recovery before I was able to return to work.

Without a pancreas, you will need insulin to control your blood sugar, and enzymes to help digest food. Without a spleen, you may be more susceptible to various infections.

Have you had a second opinion confirming whether this surgery is the best course of action?
