So I've been keeping an eye out on symptoms old or new since my release out of the hospital and lately I have a new ones that are concerning me nausea and vomiting, loss of apatite, loosing weight, fainting or feeling faint, general discomfort mini episodes of the old pain. 



few times now where I feel the pain starting in my chest and I panic, simply because I don't know how bad it will be, thankfuly it doesn't get bad and goes away after 5 or 10 min. 



some part of me thinking that it's results of the gallbladder removal ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are those symptoms common after gallbladder removal ?

I had my Gallbladder out and was sore for a week, I was prescribed painkillers. I was told to eat low fat, no fried, greasy food. It can take awhile for the body to adjust. Do you have fever or chills? Have you spoken with your Doctor?

I get more chills than fevers, it's interesting because it seem like the symptoms are changing shifts like I'm getting one after the other. I have an appointment next week the post op, might bring it up with him,

I thought that when the gallbladder is removed it will all be solved, my skin is getting dryer everyday and it's starting to get a bit flaky, my girlfriend said it's vitamin deficiency of sorts will have to take multivitamins and bring it up with the dr

Talk to your GI Specialist and mention all symptoms. Seems Pancreatitis affects each person differently. I had dry skin too, but it got better over time. Drink lots of water, that might help.
