any body esle gallstones caused pancreatitis?

[Guest guest]

Did anyone else have gallstones that cause their problem with

pancreatitis?

I had gallbladder surgery last January the old way because I had

hundreds of stones. So the surgeron did a transduodenal

spinotuoplasty so if i had more stones they would just go on thru and

not cause me any more problems. Which didn't work because i have had

pancreatitis 4 times in the past year. 4 ercp and a mrcp. They

finally found the problem, scar tissue at the transduodenal

spinetuoplasty causing the spincer to be very tight and not allowing

the pancrease to release it juices.

So i am going to have surgery March 10th in Indianapolis with Dr

Henry Pitt. He is going to do another transduodenal spinetuoplasty

and transmpullary septotomy. Has anybody had this kind of surgery

done before? Or has anybody else had Dr. Pitt before? Dr. Pitt says

it should be about 3 hrs surgery and should be in the hospital about

7 to 10 days depending on how i do and if I get pancreatitis from the

surgery.

Sorry to be so long winded but getting nervous about having another

surgery and an incsion.
