Whipple procedure: What is the recovery like?

My guy had the Whipple last April. No cancer. He just had a follow up procedure for an abdominal hernia. He had stomach aches at night. Then a bulge the size of my fist protruded under his scar. He is much better now. We are still worried about scans for cancer...so far none. Seems unfair compared to all of you who are suffering through chemo and more. We are very grateful for every day.

Ventral hernias apparently happen a lot. Had mine repaired too.
