If you have had this procedure, please send me a PM and tell me why you had it done, and any results, good or bad, that you want to share.. I will respond privately.

Never had it done. Always used to set up the scope carts for the Dr's. Hopefully they find out what your issue is and that it's on the easy side to mend.

To Granny who asked......

Scope done in the digestive track plus some extras.

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)

Similar to endoscopy but it goes beyond the stomach and into the bile duct and checks pancreas and liver.

Thank you for explaining. I figured the E was Endoscopic but had not seen the rest before. I probably need that test. I have hypoglycemia, and am having trouble controling it.
