@rosemarya Hi! Im so hapoy to connect with you! I think that the stent is to be removed but they won't know until I get there. They can promise me nothing as to the outcome whether I get pancreatitis or not. I'm praying that I don't get it yet again. It is so unbelievably painful. I don't want another extended hospital stay as I'm put into a room to recover not necessarily transplant friendly. The surgeon doing the ERCP is the head of his department and works mainly on transplant patients. Thus said, there are no guarantees. I just pray they give me enough sedation so I don't had to go through the nightmare that I've been through before...being awake and feeling everything. 🙏🙏🙏
