Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hi all, I just got home from the hospital yesterday after having my ERCP on the 9th. When the doctor did the manometry of the Sphincter of Oddi it was between 90 and 100. Needless to say they cut the muscle (or what ever it is they cut) and put a stent in. I ended up having an attack of pancreatitis. I don't remember much of the stay. The doctor said my liver enzymes were elevated due to the procedure as was my amyalase and lipase. I feel better today but still feel like my head is in a cloud with all the pain meds. I am suppose to go have a KUB next week to see if the stent passes on it's own. How common is it to pass on it's own. If it doesn't the doctor said they will have to go in and remove it. I really hate to go through this since I know I will almost certainly end up in the hospital again. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks, Patty Louisville, KY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
