Hi all, I'm new here. Had a acute pancreas went through surgery surgery 3 years ago /dead tissues necrosis? and gallbladder r removed/ And I have to admit that I was a heavy drinker. Feeling alright, but still having this little pain early in the morning right under my chest /I think I'm getting used to it/. Can't find a way to deal with it. Went through ERCP, showed that to my surgeon and he sees no problem.

As a first steop, you should completely stop drinking alcohol, if you have not done so already, and see if the pain resolves thereafter.
