pain post pancreatic tumor and gall bladder removal Posted: 07-06-08 15:12pm
had tumor removed from pancreas (benign)
and gall bladder removed same time. Am
experiencing pain under left rib cage
worse after meals. Drain bag was just
removed 3 days ago. dr kept in longer
than usual due to makeup of fluids. At
the time of gp bag removal, drainage was a
mixture of blood and yellowish clear
fluids. I cannot understand the level of
pain I am having.
Can you tell me your precise diagnosis?
Why your gall bladder was also removed?

pain post pancreatic tumor removal including removal of gall bla Posted: 07-08-08 07:55am
My doctor recommended gall bladder removal
due to high incidence of gall bladder
problems in women and because the pancreas
was undergoing assault, wanted to remove a
possible future assault by the gall
bladder.
For what kind of gallbladder problems
there is "high incidence"???
What kind of "assault from the gallbladder
upon pancreas" your doctor wanted to
prevent???
Do you know your precise
patho-histological diagnosis after the
surgery?
