Just my luck...

Jan 02, 2010

Where do I begin?? While I was at work yesterday I had a sudden onset of severe stomach pain which apparently stemmed from acute pancreatitis.  They are keeping me here for about three to five days with nothing to eat or drink. The Dr.s are scratching their heads as I have never been hospitalized for anything other than childbirth, I don't drink, and there is no family history for pancreatitis.  My amylase and lipase are literally through the roof!!  Reference for lipase is 22-51 U/L...mine is 5,689!!!  My amylase is 2,846 with a reference of 36-128.  I am so upset as I was looking forward to changing my life later this week by having the VSG with Dr. A.  The ER doc said there could possibly be an ulcer, but I would probably benefit from being scoped while I am here to determine if there is an ulcer, and if so, the location of the ulcer.  I am so upset b/c I was doing so great on my liquid diet and then BOOM, this happens. Not sure where to go from here...this is so sad.
