Without a pancreas you will have Type-1 Diabetes (as the pancreas produces the body's insulin supply) and will no longer have the ability to secrete key digestive enzymes. You would need to check blood sugar levels regularly throughout the day as well as administer insulin shots when needed. You would also have to take digestive enzymes before eating anything.

What type of enzymes would you need to take if the pancreas is removed?
After a Pancreatectomy you need a mechanism to replace the three main enzymes that the pancreas produces (lipase, prolapse, amalase). I use Creon 25 for this, two per meal, one taken before the meal and one half way through. This product is made from pig pancreas extracts and allows me to digest my food along with Insulin injections and bile from my liver.
