Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I would appreciate hearing from anyone who's had the Puestow and finding out if it provided pain relief, for how long, and did it eliminate or reduce attacks or flares? Are you glad you had it? Any and all information is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I had the puestow surgery in Oct of 2002 and went 3 month without a flare up. Then I started having weekly flare ups and being hospitalized about 2-3 times a month instead of only once a month. It made my flare ups worse and last longer. When I had my last ERCP the gastro doc said it looked like the graft had discentergrated. So now I am wishing I had never had it done. I have found a treatment that is working for me now and am only having attacks every 8-9 weeks and hopefully when I can get the money to finish it I will e able to go even longer.
