Pancreatic enzymes - Your disease or the surgical removal of part of your pancreas may have changed the way your body accepts food. This means you will need to take enzymes before meals, snacks, or supplements to help your body digest what you eat. If you experience diarrhea in spite of taking these enzymes, please talk to your nurse and doctor.

Medication to prevent stomach ulcers - You are more likely to develop stomach ulcers after this type of surgery. You will need to take anti-ulcer medication at bedtime every evening for the rest of your life.

You will need to return to the clinic or see your private doctor every three months for routine checkups. After surgery, you may have fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, and a full feeling that does not disappear after meals. However, after a few weeks, these feelings will go away, and you will be able to return to a normal diet and routine.
