pancreatic cancer and its probabilty of happening has been discussed on this

was said that it might take approx 20 yrs for it to show up if it does.....

Jane,

I think I would amend that statement to: because they remove the

pyloric valve, your risks are increased for pancreatic cancer.

Just like if you do not have some sort of WLS your risks are

trememendously high for dying from some obesity related illness.

What the percentage of increase risk is, I have no idea. It is not

determined that all RNY patients will get this disease.

Hugs,

Theresa
