Hello @cu2,

I have had two resections of the duodenal bulb. The carcinoids were small. Do you know the size of the lesions that are going to be removed by resection?

My recovery was uneventful. It took a while before I begin eating a regular diet. For several days after surgery, I had an NG tube and did not eat until that was removed.

Is small bowel resection surgery already scheduled for you?
