Immediately following gall bladder removal I began having

sudden attacks of pain in stomach. They would start out very dull and grow with intensity, sometimes causing me to break out in a clammy sweat or make my breathing rapid. I took nexium and antacids to humor my former doc who wouldnt take my word for it that it was not heartburn. they didnt work. I also began gaining large amounts of weight 40lbs in 2 months (gall bladder post op) and about 70 lbs total since the surgery.There is no provocation. It happens on an empty or full stomach..sometimes i have only 1 in a week or 5 in one day. Lately, it is excrutiating. They only last about 1-10 minutes.Also, lately, it has moved upward and into my back. I can feel it where the pancreas would be (in the back) and in the front where the stomach is. my ins got cancld for the next two months so i will miss my cat scan. ANY ADVICE?
