Gall bladder too ?? wow
why was that ?? all during same op ? and how long ago ?

Theres very few dieticians in regional cities like mine and ive found Naturopaths suggestions are not really suitable for the double banger of diabetes and a poorly functioning pancreas. Op was Oct and in june i developed a fungal rash in 6 places. Weird !! Before that in march I got a Staph infection --giant multi headed boil from the "post splenectomy" Meningaccocal injection and in April had the last compulsory vaccine for Pneumonia-- which caused my remaining bit if pancreas to start throwing clots !!
My pancreas had centre removed & head & tail stapled together but tail is dying so it weeped a fluid that caused severe infection. Hence 3 overnighters in hospital. January, March & April
Now feeling pretty normal --except finding correct diet is tricky--conflicting advice
All the best to you too--we are lucky to not have had the dreaded sorry we cant help talk
