Rang in 2012 in the ER!

NYE night I began having horrible pain in between my shoulder blades that radiated to the front of my chest. I tried to push through the pain but it was too intense!! I ended up going to the ER. I told the doctor at the ER I had the VSG two weeks ago. They called my surgeon but was told he is out of town & that he does not have a back up doctor to fill in for him. So I suggested that the ER doctor order a CT scan to make sure I wasn't dealing with a leak. She agreed.  The CT scan came back clear but they felt I had a blood clot so I had to run a scan for that. That scan came back clear too. Then my blood work came back & they said I was having pancreatitis, yuck! So I spent two night in the hospital, on a clear liquid diet. I'm home now and doing better.  have any of you fellow sleevers had pancreatitis?

I havent.  But I am glad you are doing better. Hope you make a full recovery soon.

Thank you!

 Hey,

it seems like we have the same surgeon and same issuies lol... anyways I had the same thing they told me my pancreatitis enzymes are high but Dr.Pleatman did CT scan and the scope to see if I have a leak or stricture but all the results came back fine, dont be scared. I hope you feel better soon, and hope to see you at the support group. take care 

Yes, I had the same kind of pain and I was diagnosed with pancreatitis too.  I had an ultrasound and was diagnosed with gallstones.  A gallstone had lodged in the pancreatic duct and was causing the pancreatitis.  I had my gallbladder removed five days later and I'm fine now.
