DailyDi Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Mom has pancreatitis, likely caused by gallstones. They are going to do a scope tomorrow to confirm, but she will likely have to have her gallbladder removed. She's in pain, and I'm worried and stressed! 5 Link to comment

They are going to do a scope tomorrow to confirm, but she will likely have to have her gallbladder removed. She's in pain, and I'm worried and stressed! I've been there, and I know exactly what the pain from pancreatitis feels like. I had a second attack of it several years after the first. The therapy for that is to pour fluids through you intravenously and not otherwise feed you. In my case I was up to pee every four hours round the clock. Both times for 3-4 days. The second time I was in the hospital they convinced me that since this was the second attack of pancreatitis I should have my gall bladder removed. I was against it but the hospitalist said "Oh pooh, it's like your appendix, you don't need it." The gall bladder removal was a snap - it was done laparospically on a Monday morning, and the next morning I was driving home. So all in all, I wouldn't worry all that much. Knowing what the problem is and the normal outcome should help. Feel free to ask any questions.... 3 Link to comment

That's good to know thanks! Back from the hospital early today, bad storm coming so Mom wanted me home to care for the pets and not on the road later. She's getting by on morphine and a liquid diet waiting for the surgery or whatever is next. 3 Link to comment
rusty pins Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Had my gall bladder out almost 30 years ago. Nothing to it. I stayed overnight and went home the next day. Felt so much better! Gall stones, or in my case, sludge feels like a kidney stone. Pain is bad, make that excruciating! Once gall bladder was removed, never had that pain again except when I had the occasional kidney stone. 2 Link to comment
DailyDi Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 So, Mom's in until at Least Saturday. Having the surgery Friday morning. They also found a hiatal hernia and esophageal erosion, not sure what they will do about that, likely just diet changes and reflux meds. 2 Link to comment
