What's recovery after distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy like?

About 2.5 weeks after surgery I went home and could not control the pain at all so badly the next morning we called an ambulance I was readmitted for IV antibiotics and stayed another ten days. I’m glad his is manageable at home. It’s a long healing process! He’s lucky to have you!

When did you experience the infection and are you fully recovered, no more drain etc.? I have fought pockets/ abcess infection since 1 week out of hospital post OP……fevers, no appetite, drains that did not drain because of thick puerile accumulation in the pockets……it has been 2 months and I am still draining pancreatic fluid……how does this end and how long?
