Pancreatic Pseudocyst Drainage Procedures

Yes, 2017. First they went in endoscopically and tried the drainage into the stomach but it didn't work so they went in through the side and I had a drainage bag for a couple weeks. It was huge and they said it was about to rupture. I suspect I have another.

I had several major surgeries last year, 11 drains to drain out infection. Traumatizing to say the least

Oh my! I just have one GIANT one. I had major surgery to have my stomach sewn to pancreas but scare tissue closed the hole. Now I’m dealing with stents. Ugh!

I was in hospitals for half the year and had a picc line to get really strong daily antibiotics. Once I was out of the hospitals I had to do daily infusions to continue working on the infection. My white blood cell count was 52,000.

That’s awesome! I have a stent in right now to drain it now, I too got an infection and had to have it redone. I’m hoping this fixes everything.

No major surgeries or procedures but I did have a drain put in a big one on my side last October, it was uncomfortable and it got infected, and I ended up needing a blood transfusion. They put in a different one after all uthat happened and after going to the hospital at the beginning of September I haven't had to go back after 7 hospitalizations between May and October ranging from 4 to 13 days.
