home from the hospital

[Guest guest]

hi everyone,

had my 1st ERCP on tues.woke up from the procedure very

nauseous,bloated but came on home.tues.evening was having severe pain

and vomiting,couldn't get a hold of g.i. so i went to the er and was

admitted.don't remember exactly what my levels were,i just know they

were in the 1000's,one(lipase?) was close to 4000.it was horrible and

i will never have another ERCP ever again!!my g.i. went out of town

tues.evening,and another dr. from the group was treating me at the

hosp.he let me come home thurs night as long as i promised to stay on

clear liquids for the next 48 hrs.no problem there,it hurts to even

take a deep breath, let alone eat!

and nothing was found during the

ERCP.i never spoke to the dr.because i was completly knocked out,but

he told my husband that my gallbladder,liver,ducts,ect looked

fine,just damage to my pancreas.i still have not spoken to him,which

i'm anxious to as i know more of what to ask than my husband does.i'm

still in quite a bit of pain,my belly is bloated and feels rock

hard.i wish they would have sent some of that demerol home with me!!!

i'm sure you all know the feeling.at least i came home within 2

days,unlike some one on here who recently was in for 14 days(debs?)

gosh girl,how did you stand it?i was pretty knocked out for the 1st

day.i had called my mom,barely remember doing it .everyone that came

to visit,i slept right through.oh well.this was my first

hospitalation from pancreatitis,hopefully my last!wishful thinking???

hope everyone is having a

good day. Cindy

Cindy, So sorry this was difficult for you. So you have no diagnosis

still?? They don't know why your having problems?

I posted today that my GP wants me to have a ERCP, but I am afriad to

due to exactly what you just went through. They can't find anything

wrongs, so she says next is to check for SOD.

What will be your next step??

Eileen, i was diagnosed as having cp in march.i've had 2 acute

attacks,one in 98 the other in march of 2004.still wasn'nt feeling well for a

year.went back to the dr.feb.05,had a ct scan done that showed an enlargement

and calcifacation of my pancreas and a pseudocyst.the reason i had the ERCP is

because my gi didn't think it was because of alcohol as first thought,because i

was never a " heavy " drinker,just socially,and because of my age at the onset of

symptoms.but i guess my pancreas is more sensitive to alcohol than most

people,as everything else checked out fine.my next step is to make an

appt.monday and see where we go from here.still have'nt went to a pain managment

dr.which i need to do.the only thing my gi will give me is tramodol which

doesn't help a whole lot.i am on something stronger since coming home from the

hospital,makes me very dizzy! hope you have a good evening.
