How long is the average hospital stay for Whipple surgery?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: Dec 15, 2025 | Replies (35)Comment receiving replies
Hello. In 2023, I had the Whipple Procedure. Two years later, I can't seem to find a diet that works for me. Does anyone have suggestions for the 6 small meals I should be eating? I have been to a Dietician but all she did was raise my A1C. I appreciate any feed back I can get on this issue.
