I have had chronic pancreatits going on 4 yrs, and was diagnosed with SOD a couple yrs ago. My pancreatic duct is strictured and I had a sphicterotomy in Dec. Unfortunantly I am having all of the symptoms again, pain, dehydration, loose stools, nausea etc. My gastro doc said the duct may have strictured again. They also want to do another pic line or port. I was on TPN before the surgery in Dec and really don't want that to happen again. At this point I am very frustrated and hope that there is another alternative than that surgery. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do. Thanks
