Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Laurie - I have had too many stents to count. I still believe, however that they help. My last stent episode was Dec 6th. I had two stents placed and a sphrincteronomy. The stents " expel " on their own (how, when and where I don't have a clue!!!) I just know that I get a xray a few weeks after the placement and the stents are always gone. I went 11 months with NO pain or attacks. I am also on Sandostatin LAR, which I think also helped. Before this last time, I had been averaging three to five hospitalizations a year each of the past four years. I have pancreas divisum.
