@tomrennie Hi ,we have given two choices:
1)Lanreotide ,Octreotide every 3 weeks once
2)total gastrectomy

Based on our financial condition,doctors suggested go with 2nd option

Now I would like to know the life style and complications post total gastrectomy

@ashokediga

We have discussion groups on Mayo Connect where members discuss their lives after a total gastrectomy. Here are links to those discussions:
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/total-gastrectomy/
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gastrectomie-and-bile-reflux/
I would encourage you to read the posts in these groups. I would also like to invite @lauriejane to this discussion, as she has also mentioned having a total gastrectomy last year.

Regarding the cost of the monthly injections, it might be a good question to ask your doctor. Often, a doctor's office can search out and get help with medications not covered by your health care plan.

How are you feeling?
