Is he having it at Jewish? ERCP is the best way to find out what is going on

with the Pancreas. I was diagnosed in March 2001 but gradually continued to

have pain. That was when the dr did a sphinctorotomy with manometry. The

pressure was real high and he cut and put a stent in to hold it open. I ended

up in the hospital for almost a week due to complications. sometimes when you

have an ERCP it will cause a Pancreatitis attack so you may want to take an

overnight bag.

Being scared is natural and Dr. and Dr. Kaikaus are very good. I am a

secretary for a GYN Onc. doctor and I asked his opinion about Dr. and

Kaikaus and he said that they are excellent doctors.

been seeing Dr. Kaplan, who does not do this procedure. They ruled

out many other things, and this is his first ERCP. We are nervous.
