I Have Been Undergoing Treatment (Gleevec) Since April. I Will

I have been undergoing treatment (Gleevec) since april. I will be continuinng to take this med until nov. when I go back to my oncologist. I was told I may need a whipple procedure at some point. My question is, does this procedure always involve the possibility that part of the stomach will have to be removed?
