I had the Whipple June 2025, so 6 months out. Bowel movements still wonky - not diarrhea but often loose and more frequent than before with sometimes not a lot of warning (taking Zenpep but dosage still being regulated, adding Vital Nutrients - non-prescription and much cheaper, can order on Amazon). I am 72 and was in excellent shape prior to PC diagnosis Feb. 2025. Definitely said yes to the Whipple, I wasn't ready to check out. Bowel issues are the only thing that I have to pay attention to these days. Pretty much recovered from Whipple after 2 months, and today no pain and I can do everything I did before, back to the gym, etc. Chemo makes me tired, but finishing that in 2 days. Looking forward to 2026! Would definitely make the decision to have the Whipple again, had partial removal of the head of pancreas, also gallbladder and duodenum. Seems my surgeon did an excellent job!
