Several weeks ago I found out I had a choledocal cyst, roughly the size of a quarter. I m scheduled for surgery on October 1st. My surgeon said it s grown into my pancreas and a small portion will have to be removed, also my gallbladder. It was found during a trip to my doctor for severe abdominal pain (I thought I had kidney stones). Anyways, over the last 2-3 years (and more so, recently) I ve noticed an increase in nausea, especially in the morning or right after I eat. It has been happening near daily over the last year or so. I thought I was just starting to develop a sensitive stomach or some type of allergy that I couldn t pinpoint, but I think this has something to do with the cyst. Most days (usually after dinner) I have stomach pains and end up in the bathroom 1-2 times in a two-or-so hour period prior to bed. I ve tried changing my diet, eating less, etc. but nothing seems to help the nausea or stomach cramps/diarrhea. Could these symptoms be related to the cyst since it s disrupting my normal bile flow? I want to ask my surgeon, but I ve had this issue in varying severity for awhile and didn t think about them being connected until now. Also, I m a 23 year old female, 120lbs, exercise regularly, non-smoker, healthy.
