Thank you very much I will try that web site. You did not offened me in anyway but thank you for taking the time to clear it up.
I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about Whipple...it can save your life and in most cases help you get back to your "old self." Unfortunatly, my dad has had a terrible time and I would hate it if someone read my posts and thought to themselves "there is no way I would do that!" My dad is apparently an extreme case where things have not gone so well. That is why I am here is to try to help him. Already the advice here has been a tremendous help.
