To Kara Re: have questions re: sphincter

[Guest guest]

Hi Kara,

Hope others can halp you on your sphincter question. The ERCP at UCD should go

fine if

Dr. Leung and company are doing it. My ERCP was unsuccessful in placing a stent

or

doing anything, since they couldn't even get into my panc duct, which is

probably why I

had no adverse reaction. Earlier, when I had an EGD (look-see into doudenum) I

got

bumped for about 4 hours by urgent patients. Sounds ike you'll be an

in-patient, though

of course thats no guarantee you won't have to wait. My last day in hospital I

was given

the oral contrast to drink in the afternoon, and they couldn't get a CT machine

free until

2AM the next morning.
