Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 --- Yes I did have the films about last Tuesday. The stents are gone. I know I passed them last Saturday when my sister was here because I was cooking breakfast and had the most horrible SOD spasm. I told my sister, " there the stents go! " It passed, I went to the doc the next day and they were gone. They stayed in about 10 days. Elaine, Dr. Cotton's nurse told me that the stents they put in there after ERCP have no therapeutic value except to keep the duct open to drain after ERCP so you won't get pancreatitis. That was a new one to me. The therapy it seems is just the balooning of the duct. I don't have to go back to ton unless I need to and believe me I will! I had the SOD spasms before I had my gallbladder out but they were not diagnosed. They just tried that as a treatment, but I do remember having a spasm the day I went home from the lap chole. Who knows such a strange disease. Will talk to you later Kaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
