Re: still hurting 4 weeks post gallbladder surgery-

[Guest guest]

I have been reading your posts and I am so very sorry that you are

still having pain. I think seeing a gasteroentologist is an

extremely wise move. Ask the surgeon to refer you to somebody who is

well trained in diagnosing pancreatic disease. If he is not willing

to do that, then tell him cya.

Please dont let anybody cut on your pancreas until you have been

properly diagnosed. A gasteroentologist who is well trained in

pancreatic disease can perform what is called an ERCP. This test is

the only way to truly findo out if you have the disease or not.

There are other tests which are helpful, one is an MRCP and the other

is an EUS.

I dont know of any GI panc docs in LA but maybe somebody else does.

There is also a doctors database available on this web site; look and

see if there are any from your area that other members have seen.

you need further testing and seeing a GI is the first step in

determining what is going on with you.

I wish you all the best and if there is anything I can help with

please dont hesitate for one second.

Warmly,

in SC
