Good luck to you.
I'm not here to scare you, but you asked also for any who've had attacks following ERCPs and how long. I've had numerous ERCPs and have had attacks following each one. They know now, to draw the blood while I'm in recovery before they wake me to check it to see what it's doing. And each time, I've been admitted to the hospital for around 4 days.
So, there's a good chance that you won't have an attack afterward, but there's a small chance you will.
Please post after your procedure to tell us how it went, or email me. I'm anxious to see how one does when dye isn't used.

Thanks and I wish you well!

Thanks for posting and answering my question. The last ERCP I had that the dr. used dye in, ended me up in the hospital for 9 days. And at that one, the dr. didn't go anywhere near my pancreatic duct. This time he is. I am scared to death. The dr. says there is a 70% chance I WILL have an attack after the surgery. But if it's only for 4 days, I can handle that. Just don't think I can handle the 2 weeks in the hospital he told me to prepare for.
Thanks all. And if anyone else wants to add anything to this, I am MORE than willing to read it it.
Thank you,
