Small Intestine Resection

Hi, I have had a resection in my small bowel 12/24. It took about a year to feel better. Had a hernia surgery about 5-6 months out. The combination certainly slowed recovery. Had PRRT after that and just finished it 1/25. Waiting on scans this month to see how we did with prrt. Also been on lanreotide right through it all. The surgery for me was very important as it removed dying areas of intestinal tract and two primarys that were undetected until they went in because of the small size of them. I feel much better today than i did prior to surgery. Also on Creon and Xermelo to help with digestion and jeeping serotonin levels down. Lost about 40 pounds and since have gained ten back. Been on a low fat diet throughout. Just beginning to add some fat back now to my diet.

Good things work out well for you. At this point we decided to wait and watch. We want to make sure it’s the best option to do. I am a Cardiac patient too. But thanks for sharing.
