Stomach Removal

My father in law just found out he has gastric cancer and will have his entire stomach removed in just 2 weeks. He is 70 years old. Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect after surgery? My husband and I don't live close enough to help my in-laws after surgery. We are very scared.
