Pancreatitis: could WLS hinder proper treatment & x-rays, ultrasounds used to view,tr

I am considering WLS. My primary care physician and cardiologist is for it.....my gastroenterologist is against it. He says having WLS would hinder/interfer with proper viewing/treatment of the pancreas should an episode of pancreatitis occur. Any/all advice welcomed. He also stated this procedure WLS could cause more severe episodes of pancreatitis.
