Hi there. Perhaps your case is differentntjan mine. I have had no pancreatitis attacks at all. Neither acute or chronic. Just stomach lining inflammation and spasm when my stomach is too empty. Nevertheless, the stent comes out of me in 2 more weeks. I am sorry to hear you had such complications with your ERCP. My 80 year old mother has had 2 ERCPs to remove bile duct stones and a Sphincterotomy and is doing quite well.
Without pancreatitis. Better than me actually. Trust me, if I could turn back time I would have opted out of the ERCP and waited longer. I will look at a 2nd opinion when the stent is removed if the stomach inflammation and spasm continue.

I've never heard of them removing the stent. I was told scar tissue starts to form around it. What is the purpose of removing it? Won't the same problem you had without it return?
