Hi all, it has been a while since I have been on, but I need some help. I had surgery 15 months ago and have lost 130 lbs. Recently, I had pancreatitis caused by my gall bladder, I had surgery and had my gall bladder removed and now my pancreas is doing well. However, that was one month ago, and recently (last 2 weeks), occasionally, I have been waking up with severe pain in my lower abdomen and waking up hot at the same time. I usually take 2 extra strength Tylenol and the edge is taken off, and the pain is gone within half an hour, but this can't be normal as my gall bladder surgeon seems to think it is.
I know the answer is to go see a doctor and I went to see my gynecologist, but I seemed to stump her and she gave me some pee tests to do. She did say I was dehydrated and that I need to drink more, so I have been. I was just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this. I don't know if this is related to my sleeve or my gall bladder, or what... but I need to know where to go from here.
