WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED FOLLOWING ERCP?

 If you are having an ERCP as an outpatient, you will be kept under observation until most of the effects of the medications have worn off. Evidence of any complications of the procedure will be looked for and hospitalisation may be advised if further observation is necessary. You may experience bloating or pass gas because of the air introduced during the examination. You may resume your usual diet, unless you are instructed otherwise.
