My husband is scheduled for the same surgery in mid Nov. it will be done robotically. Can you give any tips on your post care?

Hello @maggieflorida and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I see that @lu7 has already responded to you about her robotic surgery. As we wait for @michellesimpson10 to respond, I was wondering if you would care to share a bit more about your husband's NET. Is this a new diagnosis for him?
As many others, including myself, never had any symptoms prior to the discovery of the NETs, I was wondering how your husband's NET was found. Was he having problems that led to the discovery of the NET or was it found incidentally, when the doctor was doing a scan or test for something else?
How is he feeling now?

I know I'm kind of jumping in here, so my apologies if it's not helpful. I had my surgery roboticly and the pist op was quite uneventful. I was only in the hospital a few days. I was on a general diet. Minimal pain. I did go home with a tube for about a month. Not a problem. Symptoms subsided gradually. It was much easier than I had expected. I may be an outlier. My best wishes for your husband.
