I have had three surgeries. The first two were invasive surgeries (resections of the duodenal bulb). I was hospitalized for 5 -6 days each time. When I needed the third surgery, I consulted with a university medical school where they had a doctor who did surgeries of this type using an endoscopic procedure. I was in the hospital for 4 hours total. It was a good decision!

I have not had any involvement with the pancreas or liver at this point.
