[|Human|] Yes, my sister recently had her gall bladder removed and developed infection affecting her pancreas and liver...still in the hospital and cannot eat...feeding her intervienously....to weak for surgery right now so they are sending her to a rehab hospital which will be followed by surgery on her pancreas....not sure if they plan on removing all or part of the pancreas...liver is somewhat involved now but now sure to what degree...family is concerned obviously and is ofterntimes confused by what the array of doctors are telling us....the question is can a person live without a pancreas and what will be the quality of life?
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for the query. Yes, it is possible to live without pancreas because its function can be replaced by certain Chat Doctor.  She'll need to take enzymes and insulin till the rest of her life, but quality of life is not very affected. She just needs to be patient and be aware that much serious consequences may happen if pancreatitis progresses, even the worst thing. Wish you good health. Regards
