Jaundice Following GB Removal Posted: 03-30-08 13:59pm
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?
