Julie: My Mom had a Whipple last November. She too has faced significant weight loss and can only eat very small quanitities. Her problems are compounded by a 20 year history of digestive problems which does not seem to have been helped by the surgery although a sizable cyst was removed from her pancreas. I'd be interested to hear how your mother has been doing since you last wrote in August. Has she been more successful in maintaining her weight? Looking forward to exchanging emails with you. --Mark
