@victoriadukes Hi Victoria: What bypass did you have? And before Whipple - what is your prep? Chemo/ radiation or anything? Can you eat everything? Or are you on a restricted diet?

I too am looking at a Whipple, but yours is earlier. Please keep us posted and good luck!

Hi! I had the RNY gastric bypass July 13, 22. As far as the Whipple - this was a complete surprise and I am still processing it. All of this will be answered upon pre-operative evaluation. I have not been instructed on chemo or radiation at this point, as the mass was caught super early. I follow the eating plan based on guidelines from the bypass. After Whipple surgery, eating is restricted for a while, but - again, all of these questions will be answered as your surgery date approaches. Hope this helps. My best to you!!!
