How long is the average hospital stay for Whipple surgery?

Trying to get a handle on this. Thanks!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

I was in hospital for 8 days, but might have gone home sooner if I hadn’t gotten a C. dificil infection. They wanted me out of bed and walking the day after the surgery, but I had a hard time doing that except to use the bathroom the first couple days. I was 65 in case that gives any perspective.
