@gaylea1, My fingers and even my toes are crossed for a better ERCP experience for you. You sound positive and I am hopeful that the new doctor might have some special skills that you need. FYI - I had my share of ERCPs and they have been at 3 different locations (local, regional transplant, Mayo transplant) and each one has been handled a bit differently.

Have you asked why you are having such difficulty with pancreatitis after your ERCPs? Do you have your native bile duct or the one with your donated liver? I have neither, as my liver disease was a bile duct disease and so I have a re-created plumbing system that I believe is called a Roux-en-Y reconstruction. I don't know if anybody else has that, but thought I would mention it.

Gayle, Please keep in touch. And in the meantime, please know that you will be in my prayers for successful treatment and comfortable recovery. You are a strong lady! And I'm happy to 'travel' with you. 💚
