Hi, to date I have had no surgery. I have an 8mm dilated main pancreatic duct, found incidental to a cyst on my colon, diverticulitis. I was found to have it in 2013 when I had a kidney stone but was never told about it until 2022. I have an MRI with contrast every 6 months and (knock on wood) nothing has changed in 12 years. I have had a few ERCP's with nothing found, they have stopped using them for me anyway as it could cause pancreatitis. I hope I have been of some help. These issues can be alarming and scary.
