I had surgery last year; it will a year on Aug 28th. They started robotic assisted, went to laparoscopic and ended up opening me up because they did not realize my pancreas was so inflamed prior to surgery, and the number of stones were also unexpected. the stone did not stay in the body and tail as previously thought and they opened me up to save the head and neck by carefully removing the stones they found there. I ended up with a abscessed fistula about 1 month later, and things have been going ok. I did end up with SIBO in June, but motility issues are bound to be an issue every now and again. I feel so much relief from that cranky panky and am so glad I had the surgery.
