I had 10in of SI, Gallbladder, 6 cancerous lymphnodes and a 2.5cm NET removed 4/21/23. I was diagnosed with NETs in January and started Somatuline monthly injections 2/15. The SINET was blocking my SI causing pain, bloating etc.. I feel much better now and im eating a larger diet and portions. Expect not to lift anything for 6weeks. Im working out, playing tennis, biking etc again now. Good luck. You will heal.🙏

I appreciate you sharing about how the surgery helped you, @stevestenberg31. Your post greatly encourages others who are facing a similar experience.

Are you continuing the monthly injections?
