I’m about 11 months post-Whipple (pylorus preserving). Post-surgery chemo until August, so hard to distinguish some chemo vs surgery recovery/issues. But main continuing issues besides chrmo-induced neuropathy are continued fatigue (could be chemo not surgery), bowel habits more regular but less formed than before, and appetite for various foods changed. Luckily pancreas recovered enough I haven’t needed enzyme replacement after the first couple months. But that was a pain while it lasted (having to take one or more large smelly pills every time I ate made me not want to eat!) Otherwise, next to no pain after initial healing. Haven’t regained my strength/stamina yet but am generally fully functional.

Bottom line - very glad I had it as it’s the only potential cure for pancreatic cancer.
