@medic_simmons, I send you positive thoughts as you have your ERCP tomorrow. I am sorry to hear of your current situation. I know the discomfort and fear of the unknowing. I hope that you get some helpful information in the results. But I assure you that if you don't - Mayo is top of the field in GI.

Since being diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, I have had probably 15 therapeutic (stints placed, removed, balloon clean outs, etc...) ERCP's and have yet to have one cause an acute P attack. I do go to the medical school hospital in my state where there are very high volumes of these procedures done. That would be the only thing I would recommend about the ERCP; you do not want to be the fifth person the Dr. has ever performed one on. Good luck and I hope you find some answers.
I could always get one done at OU med school. That’s our #1 hospital in OK

Thank you! I saw my nurse practitioner today and she is having me follow up with the md who would be doing to ERCP to see if the risks of pancreatitis are too high. I will know tomorrow if I am going to have the procedure or just go straight to the Mayo Clinic. While the thought of the Mayo Clinic scares me I do feel it is my best option at this time.
