Q: Jaundice Following GB Removal

Hi,

I am extremely frustrated and wondering if anyone has any insight. I had an ERCP and GB removal two weeks ago. Both procedures were complicated due to the extent of the inflammation and stones. The Surgeon left the neck of the gallbladder in with some stones in it. I had a radium ultrasound and MRI the next day and was told that the bile duct was wide enough that the stones would just pass. Well, now I'm yellow so obviously I have a stone stuck in my bile duct and I've been jaundiced for about a week. The surgeon is very relaxed about it and says if I'm still jaundiced in a week, he'll give me an ultrasound. Meanwhile, the jaundice is causing major itchiness and fatigue and I just want it to be over! Any advice? Similar experiences?
