can pancreatitis return after gall bladder surgery???
is it possible for pancreatitis to return after gall bladder has been removed sense they think that was the problem in the first place???
i was recently discharged from the hospital a week and half ago, they diagnosed me with me acute pancreatitis, enlarged gall bladder full of gall stones, and pneumonia...i was there for a whole week, on dilaudid, antibiotics, and fluids thru ivs...they removed my gall badder, and had me on a CLEARliquid diet. i was only allowed to have chicken broth, jello, and popsicles. and they sent me home after that week to stay on that diet for another whole week...they told me that this diet was because they had to get my pancreas stable and uninflamed, and the only way to do that was to not make the pancreas work, the pancreas is not meant to do much, and when we eat all this bad things for us, it makes our pancreas spiral out of control, which leads to the severe pancreas attacks like i had, i felt like i was dying, and to be honest it was the scariest thing to go thru...i couldnt breathe, my blood pressure kept going down to scarey levels, i was sweating very bad and when i say very bad i mean my clothes and hair were soaking wet within a few minutes, i felt numb and tingliny all over like i was going to pass out, i couldnt walk without staggering, ambulance was called and they took me to er, when the emt was checking my blood pressure on the way, she told the driver of the ambulance to upgrade, which meant to drive faster, she said my blood pressure was getting to low for her comfort...i have heard that these attacks can last an hour to 5 hrs, my first attack was about 2 hrs long and it was 2 weeks prior to the second attack...the second was a nightmare and very severe...it is important to call 911 when an attack starts, because the doctors told me it can be life threatning if you dont get treatment when they happen...im hoping mine stays away sense they removed my gall bladder and the stones...good luck to you, ihopethis helped...
