Can I Have Gall Bladder Surgery With A Hypo Echoic Structure On The Pancreas?

I am scheduled to have surgery on 5/22/14 to have my gall bladder removed, but I just received a note in the mail today from my gastroenterologist that the results from my 4/28/14 ultrasound showed a hypoechoic structure in my pancreas, and he wants me to make a follow-up appointment as soon as possible. Should I cancel the gall bladder surgery scheduled for 5/22?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have hypo echoic structure in pancreas. Hypo echoic structure in head of pancreas can be normal variant, some cyst or other pathology. So it should be evaluated. If needed go for CT scan. It will clear all your doubts. If it is normal then you should proceed with your gall bladder surgery. If it is due to some pancreatic pathology then you should plan accordingly
