I have had five Bilary duct stents place that did not work.  My bilirubin is over eleven.  They just plaaced the sixth stent which is a permanent one.  It is metal and wider.  Hopefully it wwill work otherwise I have to have a tube from my liver to an external bag.

Has anyone had one?  Can anyone give me some advice?
