Hello @bede and welcome to Mayo Connect. I can certainly understand that you want to learn from others who have also had a Whipple surgery. It is great to have an idea of what to expect. We have several members on Connect who might help you understand the recovery process. Here is a link to one of those discussions.

I would like to invite some members to discuss their experiences (or their family member's experience) with you including, @dakotarunner @susan2018 @marvinjsturing, and @dianamiracle.

@bede, did your doctor suggest radiation or chemotherapy after surgery or will this be determined later on?
