Had Gall Bladder Removed. History Of Pancreatitis. Vomiting, Red Marks On Abdomen, Itching. Your Thoughts?
Hopefully this is a non-fee site here. email: YYYY@YYYY
Just had my gall bladder removed. I had a severe case of Pancreatitis a year ago,
but after several tests nothing was found. The only thing that revealed anything
was a simple blood tests, which revealed a severe level of an Pancreotic enzyme
known as Lypace, which was at 26,000 rather than below 300. Fast forward to
this past Wednesday. I had been again vomiting after eating food with acid and
some fat (spaggetti with tomato sauce, hamburger and later the chips. I say all
this to provide background information. This past Wednesday, 6/5/2013, the gall
bladder was removed.
The next day, and here is why I'm writing, I have an across my abdomen with a
couple of off shaped red marks on my right side--NO not the surgery incisions.
The rash does itch a little bit, sometimes more so than others. I will be keeping
the checkup type routine post surgical appointment with the surgeion this week,
but wanted to know your thoughts.

Hello,
i went through your statement. Acute pancreatitis is confirmed by elevated serum Amylase. The indication for removal of gall bladder is not mentioned as well as were you jaundiced. Any patient with their gall bladder removed must take for certain period fat free diet and life long with minimum fat.
The off shaped red marks may be due to multiple reasons. Unless a Dr sees them personally it is very difficult to comment on it. Sorry.
With best wishes
