Dr C...Your input would be appreciated.

Dr. Curry, Here is the link to a post I posted last night after returning from the local ER. I will be scheduling an appointment with my surgeon, but a second opinion couldn't hurt, right?

Silly question, can surgeons take out special insurance on their hands? Super models do on their legs

Sorry for the delayed response, my dominant hand is in a cast! Sounds like you need some further testing. An upper GI and CT scan at a minimum. Could be a retained stone in the bile duct, hernia, adhesions, etc. Could be a one-time thing, hard to know. Wish I could be more specific! Good luck, Dr. C The Deaconess Surgical Weight Loss Center Cincinnati, Ohio

Thanks, I see my PCP tomorrow and my surgeon in two weeks. I will post what they find out, if anything. I've been feeling o.k. so far. Sarah
