I hope that you won't need a second surgery. But if you do need it, take comfort in knowing that at least there is an alternate plan for your recovery. I do not have a bile duct due to my bile duct related liver disease. My surgeon performed (in my laymans terms) creative plumbing that connects to my intestines. It works very well. At 1 year post transplant, I did need and to have a surgical repair because it got kinked in a small gap in my intestines. I don't know what your surgery would be like, but for me that repair surgery was much easier for me.
I am happy hat you saw this post, @gaylea1. I am sending my strongest wishes your way for successful results when you have next ERCP. Are you at home now? Do you know when you will have the ERCP?
