Whipple surgery at 30 years question

i want to ask something about whipple procedure(tips ideas)
I had a consultation today with my doctor about Whipple surgery.
He told me that there are two options, one is to operate on me to make a whipple surgery
Remove part of pancreas part of stomach and duodenum
However for him I am 30 years old so many organs to lose it is a crippling operation in most cases..
The second option is follow-up every 6 or 3 months and endoscopically to remove polyps
He said the second one is risky because they don't see all the polyps, but it's better because it's not crippling
I have polyps all over the duodenum says low tubular adenom dysplasia.( about 1-5mm)
Any tips ideas i am afraid losing my organs
