Besides being a diabetic after the removal of the pancreas what other symptons does one have? What about the type of diet you must follow. Does one have trouble with weight loss or weight gain, any sleeping disorders, fatigue, mood changes. Basicly, I am trying to find out what I have to expect after I have my pancreas removed within the next 6 months. Thank you for any help in advance.

Hi Anita,
You will be on MANY medications and have a very strict diet regimen to follow.
Weight loss can be expected due to the diet and the effects upon the digestive system.
Patients usually report lasting discomfort after surgery. This can cause sleep disturbances. It may also cause fatigue or mood changes.
Talk to your surgeon/doctor. They know your history and can give a much more detailed answer as to what to expect. They may also have information on support groups.
Good luck.
