Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic.
These terms refer to the duodenum which it the part of the small intestine that follows on from the stomach. D1 refers to the first part and D2 to the second part. Therefore, you will be having a gastroscopy which will also look at your stomach and duodenum.
I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
