Anybody with a J-Pouch get a Whipple procedure ???

Yes, I had my j pouch surgery in 2016 and a Whipple November of last year after cancer was found in my duodenum.  Fortunately it was found very early and had not spread. The whipple is a big surgery with a tough route to recovery. I’m feeling better every day but still struggle with gi issues. I did not hesitate to have the whipple as it was literally a life saving “cure” for me.  I would get a second and third opinion before having the whipple surgery. If you have to have it done, please make sure that you go to a surgeon who does a lot of them.  I mean dozens if not hundreds. It is the magnum opus of surgeries and you need a team that has a great deal of experience with it. Good luck and god bless you.
