Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know they are releasing me today. It would seem that this pain has nothing to do with my pancreas...since my A & L are not elevated. I still can't eat, still have diahrea (even though I have only had ice chps allday) and still have dry heaves. I am quite preturbed at this whole incident. If I'd have thought this was something I could have dealt with at home I would have stayed there. I'm sure you have all heard this before from the docs so you can't be too surprised. So for now I am waiting for some clothes and my ride home. I hope that this surgery really does take care of the pain because if one more " Health care PROFESSIONAL " tells me thi isn't CP... I'm going to pop them in the nose. I should be hom by 6 pm EST. So I'll get to my messages then, Thanks everyone for your concern and prayer. {{{HUGZ}}} __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi , I don't think my last message when thru to you, or at least that what my server said, so just a quick note to let you know that I glad that you are home, but I do wish you felt a whole lot better. I hope that they certainly sent you home with nausea and pain meds, since they really didn't do much else to help you. I sure you felt like that was a wasted trip to the hospital. I have felt that way my last 2 trip that I was admitted for CP. I do hope that you feel better Thursday and over the weekend. I'll keep you in my prayers that your feeling better very soon. Keep us posted on how your doing. Your always there for all of us, so let us be there for you now. Take it easy and don't over do it now that you home. Be sure and rest as much as you possible can.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 , I'm just reading your post as I've been in the hospital myself. I, too, was sick to death of the GI telling me that the pancreas wasn't cuaing the pain since I had pain without the amylase and lipase being elevated. It took getting my surgeon (the one who did my gastric bypass) involved to get the GI to admit it most likely is the pancreas. Actually, they think it is the sphincter of oddi malfunctioning which is causing the pain. According to my surgeon, there are basically three levels of malfunctioning when it comes to the sphincter of oddi. 1. The sphincter of oddi malfunctions for a short time anc causes episodes of intense pain. 2. The sphincter of oddi malfunctions worse and causes liver enzyme elevations in addition to the intense pain. 3. The sphinter of oddi really malfunctions and it causes enough irritation to the pancreas that the pancreas enzyme levels (in addition to the liver enzyme levels) are elevated. My surgeon says that the pain is very real even when the enzymes are not elevated. He also said that when your liver enzymes are very elevated your liver is being damaged and something must be done to stop (or at least decrease) the episodes. going home Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know they are releasing me today.
