Has anyone had a ERCP to deal with jaundice and nausea?

I also had jaundice and underwent ERCP/EUS, biopsy and stent. I had nausea and pain after the procedure, less than 8 hours but I was just wiped out. Look about 10 days to be back on my feet. It took almost 2 week for my bilirubin to come down enough to start with chemo. This was just enough time to recover enough to start with treatment. The stent fell out and I had it replaced at my second opinion center (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center). I had no difficulty afterwards. I had biliary sludge and elevation of my alkaline phosphatase level, it improved with treatment with ursodiol.

Thank you so much for your post. In March 2023 I was prescribed ursodiol but didn't know why -- my drs. have generally provided the info I need, but my question about this Rx fell thru the cracks (difficulty in getting an appt. with the dr. who checked the stent in March and then prescribed this contributed). I ultimately stopped taking it, but bc of your reply I realize that I need to ask, ASAP, about resuming it / ask about the risks of not taking it. Thank you again, and best wishes.
