    I'm so sorry!

    DH had this - right after Thanksgiving as well, about 9 years ago. Echoing Indy's comment about triggers - I think that was a trigger for him, fatty food, etc. He was in the hospital a couple of days, no surgery and it doesn't sound like his was as bad as yours. His recovery was ok. He ended up losing 30 pounds after that over a period of about 6 months and it has never recurred.

    Gentle hugs, Roxy.

    Gallstones can cause pancreatitis. You'll probably be put on a low-fat diet to deal with the gall bladder (or lack thereof). Beyond that, I don't really know. Heal quickly!

    Wow, Roxie, so sorry! That level of pain sounds on par with the pain I had when I had to have multiple x-rays after fracturing my pelvis in a cycling accident. Even on morphine, I was screaming like an animal as they shifted me around. Fortunately, you can't really "remember" pain like that; I just remember screaming.

    On the silver lining side, from looking at some of the links, it surely sounds like you may end up losing a fair or significant amount of weight from all this. Too bad to have to do it this way, though!

    Keep us posted and hopefully you will feel much better soon!

    Thinking of you,
