Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Thanks for your reply . I have had an Ultrasound RUQ, Tech Hyda Scan, Gastric Emptying Scan & EGD. Along with a lot of labs to work up a possible parasite as I lived in Costa Rica, for a year. I may have answered my own question as last night I called a surgeon that I had worked for in Clearwater. He referred to me to a friend of his in Tampa, associated with USF. His name is Dr. Larry Carey and he has written a book about the pancreas and is a specialist. I plan to call him for an appt. on Monday and really get to the bottom of this. When I read the Tech Hyda results to my Dr. friend he said I was probably a candadate for " non-lithiasis cholecystitis " . This Dx makes sense to me with my history. I was fortunate to have had ejection fractions with my Tech Hyda & that is how he came to that conclusion. I have not had a CT , MRI, or ERCP and I would think one of those might be helpful. I wish you well and if I can be of help to anyone I would love to help. I have 30 years of nursing experience in ICU, Surgery, IV therapy and Emerg. Dept. Bless you.
