HI @kandidubrall ,

They did tell me to be patient that the process should fix it but could take up to a year. Pancreatitis is a possible side effect they watch for after an ERCP. I'm sorry to hear you got it. Try and relax, trust your doctors, ask all the questions you want to ask even if you feel you've asked them before. If you are wondering about it, they can give you the information again until you feel your question has been answered. Although my leak is resolved, for now, I still have the stricture and they are working on widening it. I think I have 3 stints in the duct right now. Every time I go in they say, we will either, add to or remove but don't know what they are dealing with until they get in there. It can be a long process with lots of worry. I can tell you I'm feeling much better 9 months out but there were many times I was filled with worry and felt down about my recovery. It will get better.
