@luckyone4321, You're welcome. I know how difficult it is to find a doctor and/or gastroenterologist that's knowledgeable in patients who have had Total Pancreatectomies, Whipple Procedure surgeries and/or Distal Pancreatectomies. I changed gastroenterologists after I underwent the Whipple. Through many phone calls & inquiries, I finally found a knowledgeable gastroenterologist & am very happy with him! You may want to seek a second or third consult opinion until you find a good gastroenterologist.
I haven't tried Zenpep, but I have a friend who takes it. He told me it works a bit better for him than Creon. You should ask your doctor tomorrow about increasing your Zenpep dosage, as I'm sure it will help you. Keep us posted on your visit tomorrow, okay? I hope your visit goes well!💜
