Probably: Without access to all of your medical records and the ability to examine you it is impossible to second guess a competent gastroenterologist who is currently managing you. It is always wise to get a second opinion if you are hesitant about following a doctor's advice, but do so with somebody who has all the facts. Best wishes.

How invasive is an ERCP endoscopy? If an EU was preformed but nothing of note showed up what are the chances of being scheduled an ERCP if issues with the liver gallbladder and bile ducts are suspected? Is gallbladder removal more common than ERCP?
