I am not in enough pain, yet, to move to more complicated surgery. Everyone must make his/her own decision. I have recurring acute panc (supposedly, no panc damage, yet). I average 4-6 attacks a year with hospitalization for most of them. Cecilia Cecilia soce@...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Our 23 y/o daughter has the same thing, along with Sphincter of Oddi problems. Be glad to share whatever accumulated information we are in the process of obtaining. She was supposed to have an ERCP yesterday, but there was a scheduling snafu and it is postponed until tomorrow (1/9) She had her gall bladder pulled in November. Kurt > Hi Everyone!
