Saanvi Shah, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Saanvi Shah, a 42-year-old software engineer and mother of two, had been struggling with recurrent episodes of severe upper abdominal pain radiating to her back for over a year. The pain was often triggered by meals and accompanied by nausea. She had a history of gallstones, and a recent CT scan revealed a large, persistent pancreatic pseudocyst measuring 8 cm, a complication from a past episode of acute pancreatitis. Her gastroenterologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that the fluid-filled cyst was pressing on her stomach and causing her symptoms. He recommended an endoscopic cystogastrostomy, a minimally invasive procedure to create a connection between the cyst and her stomach, allowing it to drain internally. Saanvi was terrified of surgery but relieved to hear it was an endoscopic option. The procedure itself was done under sedation. She remembers little, just waking up with a sore throat from the endoscope. The recovery in the hospital was monitored for two days. Within a week, her debilitating pain had vanished. Emotionally, she transitioned from a state of constant anxiety and frustration, feeling like a burden to her family, to immense relief and gratitude. She regained her energy, could enjoy meals with her children again, and felt she had her life back.
