Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Joan, ask if they can do the stomach preserving one. It's a variation of the standard Whipple, but leaves the stomach intacked instead of taking half of it. One of the people in my pain management class had a Whipple and she had half her stomach removed and she now throws up at least once a day. She thinks it's cuz she just can't hold much food in it anymore. Kimber -- Kimber hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Joan, just thought of another one. Can they retain your islet cells and transplant them into your liver portal vein to mitigate developing diabetes? Kimber -- Kimber hominid2@...
