Procedure Booked

[R1100S1]

Hi all

Had meeting with consultant today

I have finished all pre op tests and have been judged fit for the op.

So Monday I am booked in for the Whipple operation

Will be a quiet Christmas this year, but hopefully lead to a better year than this has been

Hi again

I had to google whipple

“Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Description

A pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, Whipple procedure, or Kausch-Whipple procedure is a major surgical operation most often performed to remove cancerous tumours off the head of the pancreas. It is also used for the treatment of pancreatic or duodenal trauma, or chronic pancreatitis. Wikipedia”

Is this right?

If so when I was in the Liver TP recovery ward the chap opposite me was just recovering from this operation - but I didn’t know it was called that! He was recovering really well!

Good luck for Monday 👍

Yes correct re operation could be over 4 hour’s work for surgeon and thanks. Hope you are well

Hmm long op 🙁. At least it’s coming up quick - or has it been a long time coming.?

I’m good thanks 👍.
