Hello @bluemorphos and welcome to Mayo Connect. This is a great place to find support!

Here are three discussion groups that mention a total pancreactomy:
- Total Pancreatectomy
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/total-pancreatectomy/
– Help…need guidance on eating after Whipple
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/help-need-guidance-on-eating-after-whipple/
- Life after Pancreatectomy: How was your recovery? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/life-after-pancreatectomy/

I'm tagging fellow members like @beachdog @drileymn @buckslayer @luckyone4321 @chemobile @kjrita @kay2 @wrolsen @charliegolfrep @kamnorris2 who can share their experiences with pancreatectomy and recovery tips, either as a patient or a caregiver.

Has your doctor indicated when this surgery might occur?
