@gphetteplace quite a loaded question for me. After they did the corrective surgery it was then discovered I had a blocked/collapsed bile duct. It took four ERCPs to correct that all ending with hospital stays due to pancreatitis (contracted by the procedures). I had the stent removed June 22nd and I contracted pancreatitis again with another week long hospital stay. Good news is that the bile duct is now viable on its own. Downside yet another setback in recovery. I'm home now but it will take a few more weeks to get back to semi-normal. I'm just glad and thankful I have no more planned surgeries and can devote my time to getting healthy again. I'm sure your surgery will go well and the matter will be resolved.

@gphetteplace, Congratulations on the good report from your 4 month check-up! I know that the 4 month visit is a big event and a busy event.
How are you feeling now? Has the splenic artery embolization continued to show positive results? or How long until this settles down before a decisioin on possible surgery? I've got my fingers crossed for you.
