Consult a doctor. Without a pancreas you would immediately become a type-1 diabetic (as the pancreas produces the blood sugar your body needs to function). This would require monitoring your blood sugar levels on a daily basis, a strict diet, exercise and possibly insulin shots. You would also need to take digestive enzymes with each meal as another function of the pancreas, that you are now lacking, is to produce such enzymes.
