Hi All. Well it's been exactly 2 months since the stent was placed in my bile duct to widen the duct and diameter of the Sphincter of Oddi for my PCS and SOD. I am happy to say that my stent was removed quicky this week and without the trauma of the previous 2 ERCPs. My RUQ PCS pain is no longer there and my stomach spasms are subsiding. I will be going off Dicetel next week.

When my Gastro removed the stent he was very pleased with the success of the duct widening and also stretched the Sphincter of Oddi once more with ballooning before he finished the procedure. I am now symptom free and very happy. It was a long road but it turns out that patience was key as well as physicians who never gave up on me. I will make a final post after my follow up appt in 1 month. I hope some of this information about my journey helps someone else with Post Cholesectomy Syndrome caused by Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction post Cholesectomy.
