    Post-Whipple survivors from pancreatic cancer

    My wife had a successful Whipple operation 14 years ago. She developed diebeties and had some digestive problems but is very happy to be alive. However for the past year she has been steadyly losing weight. I was wondering if there is any way to stop the weight lose which threatens to become a serious problem if it continues.
