I’m so glad to welcome you to Connect, @mcantr. I especially like your relative’s point, “...feel that it would be helpful if he had a way to search for the experiences of others who have had the same procedure.”

I’d like to introduce you to @steve_b who has had a distal pancreatectomy and may be able to share more information. I’m also tagging @marvinjsturing @beachgirl23 @ahtaylor @tracyweis, all of whom have shared their experience with other pancreatic surgeries.

@mcantr, may I ask if you or your family member could share a few more details? What diagnosis led to a total pancreatectomy?
