After 4 to 6 weeks with a feeding tube, if pancreas is angry and inflamed still, would they take the pancreas out?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Your question is something that needs to be answered by a specialist - likely a gastroenterologist.

A person can live without a pancreas but they will need constant monitoring and intervention.
Please address your concerns to your doctor.
Best,
Susan
