In april 2002 I had a gastric bypass done.
In july of 2002 I started getting severe
pains in my upper right stomach. These
pains went on until last year off and on,
when I was told I had chronic
pancreatitis. I have never been a big
drinker. And nothing really seems to
bring it on. Has anyone heard of these
to having something to do with eachother?
Or anyone have similar gastric problems
after the gastric by pass? I have had no
other problems. Thanks

Pancreatitis And Gastric Bypass Posted: 02-04-05 23:44pm
I had gastric bypass on july 30, 2002. I
began with pancreatitis in sept. Of 2003.
Well, that is when it was diagnosed. I
have not found anyone else who has had
gastric bypass who has it! I thought I
was all alone in this. Do you have a cyst
on your pancrea also? Have you gotten
help for your pancreatitis? I cannot have
the ercp done because of my gastric bypass
so I may have to have the whipple
procedure done to remove part of my
pancreas. The docs assure me it has
nothing to do with my bypass but I can't
help but think it did!
Let me know how you are, I would love to
know if we have similar issues!

Gastric Bypass and pancreatitis Posted: 10-11-08 09:37am
I had gastric bypass about 3 year ago. My
gallbladder was removed shortly
thereafter. I've gone symptom free for
about a year and a half and suddenly find
myself back in a bad situation. I have
been having severe upper abdominal pain =
heart palpatations and bouts of nausea,
vomiting and fainting. At first they said
it was vertigo - but that hasn't seemed to
pan out. I am tired of tests, dr visits,
etc.
It seems that it is my pancreas. I can't
help but think this is all somehow
related. I see my Dr on Wed for the
"official" diagnosis. I have days that go
by and I don't feel any pain, just
discomfort. On other days - its
overwhelming - I find it hard to think of
little else other than stopping the pain.
I haven't had a good nights sleep in weeks
it seems. This is all new to me, so I hope
that it is in a treatable stage. I don't
relish taking medicine again - since this
was one of the main reasons I had the
bypass done. I've been without
perscription meds and it has been
wonderful - until now. What a trade
off????
