She has been sick for 2 weeks. We went to the emergency room when it started, and they found her pancreas levels to be high and said she has pancreatitis. So they told her no food, so she hasn't eaten in a week (soup, crackers, mashed potatoes only) and all she does is 
every few hours, especially throughout the night. She has gotten really really skinny around 120's from not eating for so long.
We have been to the doctor 3 times, got a ct scan on her gall bladder, a x-ray, and 3 blood test which now shows her pancreas levels are down to normal, but she still feels bad and still is in the bathroom pooping even though she has nothing in her body to poop out.
I am going to call her doctor and go again, cause she is too sick and she is way to skinny now. They said if this doesn't stop soon she will have to go into the hospital for iv liquids and won't be able to eat for a month.
Man this is frustrating, I am getting really nerveous. We are suppose to start our trip in 2 weeks and I am saying screw the trip I want her well. I'm scared.

awwwww - I'm sorry to hear Becca isn't feeling well. Hound the docs is all I can say - the ER is not the final final - dig up some specialists and whatnot - docs are known for not taking some things into account for post WLS folk - Mrs. Rhonda will be the first to tell you that.
Prayers and thoughts up for you and B!
Push for the hospital stay. That way they can monitor her while giving the antibiotics. Personally I never would have made it to 2 weeks. Have they done an abdominal scan? I know you said that performed a CT on her gall bladder but thinking an abdominal ultrasound and maybe an endoscopic ultrasound too.
No I am not a doctor but I am very familiar with someone you love being ill and the feeling of impotence it carries with it...so do something and get those docs in gear!
My prayers are with you and Becca. Be strong
