Acute Pancreatitis After Gall Bladder Surgery Posted: 03-08-06 11:55am
I had my gb removed in january and
returned to the er twice because of
abdominal pain only to be told I had gas
and to go home and eat alot of fibre.
When I made my follow up appointment to my
gi doc he immediately put me in the
hospital because the surgeon had not
checked the bile duct and had left a stone
(s) in it. So thanks to the stupidity
and laziness I am now a diabetic with
about 15% of my pancreas left.
So to those of you who are contemplating
this surgery insure your surgeon does not
skip this step because what I had almost
killed me.

thanks for the information, as we trust
doctors all the time. They took out my
gallbladder and I developed ibs and I have
had reoccurring pancreatites for 14
years.. You can't eat, drink or party
like you use too and the only thing to
treat pancreatities is fluids and
narcotics for the pain. How ever I
learned from a very close friend that is a
natropath that, "fresh pinapple will help
to heal it" try it slowly and see what you
think. I had stopped eating oranges and
stuff, because I thought there was enough
acid in the gut, but pinapples work well
and I have had less attacks.. Good luck
make sure it doesn't interfer with you
meds!

Pancreatic problems, up to and including
acute pancreatitis is what can happen
giving cck when you have gallstones.
Very small risk, but when it happens, it
is very serious.

before you had your gb out? It is scary

The pains was even worse after the
surgery. I am letting the lawyers take
care of these doctors for now.

Gallstones Posted: 04-09-06 21:20pm
Hi there
my mom has recently been admitted to the
hospital for gallstones. However, one
stone is lodged in her bile duct...Which
is causing an infection in the pancreas.
The infection is taking quite some time to
go away so they can go in and do the
surgery.
How long is this suppose to take for the
infection to clear. It is getting quite
concerning. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
