Chrissy, Is the 2nd floor where the General Research Unit is? I stay

in that unit after one ERCP/Stenting and it was great. It is the unit

that they have patient starting Insulin Pump therapy. It was cool

because instead of counting grams of carbs, they somehow weighed the

food before you ate and after and told you how many grams of carbs

had been consumed. Thay had their own kitchen and all. Also the unit

where I got fes when I was suppose to be NPO. Of course you know what

happened after I ate !!

The only time I DID NOT stay after an ERCP was the one time a stent

was not placed. And that was the onlt time I did not have an acute

attack post ERCP!!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Love, Cyndi
