How can a well-controlled diabetic with history of whipples proc. gain weight? i am 5'7" and weigh 105#. exercise doesn't seem to help.

Why Whipple?: First off, why have you had the whipple procedure? That fact may shed more light on your problem with weight gain. If only pancreas and duodenum have been removed taking food with appropriate pancreatic enzymes will help you get the nutrients that you need to gain weight. If the cystic duct has been re-routed then that should be enough, otherwise you mat need some additional enzymatic help!
