Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 If everything is still on schedule, I am having my ERCP / manometry on Friday morning. What can I expect? That is, if no complications occur during the procedure, will I be sore anyways (will the sphincterotomy cause soreness; the manometry?). If complications do occur, how soon will I know it? (right away, hours, days?) What questions should I ask the doctor / nurse before they do the procedure? If the procedure starts at 10:00 will I be " with it " by 4:00? (I am going under general anesthesia). Anything I should do to prepare myself for this? (I am not taking aspirin, NPO after midnight, etc, but is there anything else?) I am a little aprehensive. Has anyone had this done and made it through without complications? Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Sandy, I just wanted to welcome you to the group, since I haven't seen you post before. I hope you find this group as caring and informative and supportive as I have and look forward to hearing more from you. If you don't mind my asking, where do you live? Do you have Chronic Pancreatitis or Acute Pancreatitis? Do they know what from? Sorry for the barrage of questions, just interested in meeting a new friend. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
