    Hello and welcome. My husband who is now 77 had a double Whipple 4 years ago in August. If you go to our search site and look up Whipple or Lainy I have a ton of posts starting January of 2006. Teddy’s was a tad different as he first had an aborted Whipple. When he had the “real” thing a month later and he was in the hospital for 2 weeks. The recuperation takes several months. It is the largest surgery to the human body, not life threatening but large. Everyone recovers differently but if you have any questions please feel free to also e mail me.

    To all:

    Dad is a candidate for whipple procedure. He has been rather healthy, with the one obvious exception.

    Realistically speaking, how long can I expect him to stay in the hospital recovering? How long before he is back to the “daily routine”? Any info is appreciated.
