@ellyou069 Thanks for the explanation. It does sound very painful. That is hard to work through. So the Whipple took care of the need for the stents? How does the belly band help?

@tomrennie Jamie is doing good. I am waiting for the oncologist to call

@tomrennie
The belly band works as a support like a back support/compression stocking but for the stomach/abdomen. It definitely helps a lot.
Through it all I am grateful for the Whipple procedure. Keeping a positive attitude and just knowing my worst days are someone’s best days helps me to keep things in perspective.
