To @tomewilson and All,

I see that many of you have mentioned weight loss, difficulty eating, etc. as a result of surgeries for NETs in the digestive tract.

On Connect we do have several discussions about this topic. Many of these discussions are related to surgeries for diverticulitis and/or other digestive tract problems but I've found them very helpful for me. (I have also had two invasive surgeries for NETs in the duodenal bulb and then a third surgery that was done endoscopically.)

Here are links to some of these discussions:

Feel free to not only read the posts but also to ask questions of the Members. You might find @thull to have some good ideas as she has had many surgeries and has dealt with these problems for many years.
