My stomach drain has been gone for a while but that didn't have any impact. No NG tube though, just rejecting the gastric juices and bile accumulated

I wonder if @marvinjsturing @chess17109 @dianamiracle @susan2018 @dakotarunner @jeanne5009 @beachdog have any thoughts to add to @charliegolfrep's.

What has your care team suggested, Caryn?

I had Whipple in Mar. of 2019. It seemed like I fought with build up of food, etc. in my stomach for quite a while. I made the bad mistake of eating too much too soon. It was quite a tussle for a bit. You will have bear with it, and pretty much all of a sudden the problem goes away. Easy for me to say, huh? I am now almost 3 years out and feel great. I have gained back 30 of the 54 lbs. I lost. Life will gt better, and without Whipple, life for me would have been over at this time. Touch base with me on this site in a month or so. I am pulling and praying for you.
