I don’t want to scare you, but it was painful 5 hour surgery. I was hospitalized x 4 days & demanded to go home on day 5; you get very little sleep in the hospital. I was on so much pain medication I remember nothing about being in the hospital. I took the pain pills for 4 days once I got home, then switched to Tylenol, I have a high pain tolerance & don’t like taking pain pills & was tired of sleeping. I had 44 staples & those caused a lot of discomfort.
After about 6 weeks I felt much better. Here’s a list of all the NETS cancer/locations that was removed:
A Peritoneum, pre-peritoneal fat
B Abdomen, left anterior abdominal wall, trocar site
C Abdomen, right anterior abdominal wall, trocar site
D Falciform ligament
E Liver, portion of right lobe of liver
F Liver, porta hepatis nodule
G Gallbladder
H Diaphragm, portion of right diaphragm and peritoneum
I Diaphragm, right diaphragm peritoneum medially
J Peritoneum, right gutter peritoneum
K Peritoneum, right lower peritoneum
L Bladder, portion of bladder peritoneum
M Peritoneum, left gutter peritoneum
N Peritoneum, left lower peritoneum
O Abdomen, sigmoid epliploica
P Pelvis, left pelvic peritoneum
Q Omentum, omentum nodules
R Sigmoid colon, wedge sigmoid colon
S Small intestine, small bowel mesentery
T Appendix
U Small intestine, small bowel lipoma
V Ileum, portion of mesentaric tumor and terminal ileum

Hi I had surgery in Australia in a regional town 3 years ago had 1.5m of ileum removed and 10 lymph nodes removed. My surgeon used fine tubes under my skin which gave pain relief every 4 hours for 3 days. I also had stitches that dissolve as well. pain level once tubes removed was around 5 out of 10. Was not allowed home until I did a bowel motion which for me happened day 6 at night and went home the next day. Follow up 2 weeks later. I now have liver lesions in which my medical team are monitoring. Surgery time was 4.5 hours and I do not remember being transferred from recovery to room. good luck.
