Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 ERCP's were it for me. My GI doc put 11 stents in over the course of 2 yrs. He warned me of the risk of Pancreatitis(I think thats right) but I never got it. It got to the point that I looked forward to the ERCP becuase the following weeks I felt great. So it just depends on the person on how well they work.
