Hi,
Mu husband had the Whipple Procedure done at Mass. General, Boston in July 07. this was done by a Dr,. Fernandez. We recommend him very, very highly. My husbands operation went well, part of his stomach taken out the tumor on top of the pancreas and 40% of the pancreas, all the gall bladder and 31 lymph nodes. Two months later my husband went throu chemo. and radiation. Just finished with everything the end of Feb.
My husbands recovery period after the Whipple did go OK. He did develop an infection at one part of the incision BUT he has been doing OK. Really not too drastic problems. Has been really doing well with what he went through.We owe everything to Dr. Fernandes. If you want I can send you his number.
Please take care and your family.
