How long do people survive after Whipple procedure? Can you still be athletic after Whipple Procedure?

All Two questions: How long do people survive after Whipple procedure? Can you still be athletic after Whipple Procedure? messages

Today is 8 months after my Whipple. I had Ampullary carcinoma of the Ampulla of Vader. The Whipple procedure was successful in removing the tumor, but also took 1/3 of the stomach and 1/3 of the pancreas, duodenum, gall bladder, etc. I lost around 20 pounds from the surgery and reduced appetite from the stomach reduction.
