7 months out Roux en Y and got Pancreatitis, any relation?

[Madeleine Renee 77]

I had my by-pass on August 18, 2015.

Everything went great, no problems whatsoever. Lost 53 lbs, what I had to lose, went off most meds, feeling great and walking up to 2hrs a day in the hills.

Then, bam, ended up in the hospital for 13 days, 5 of which in ICU, diagnosed with Pancreatitis, I do not want to scare anyone.

But, I would like to know if ANYONE here has heard of that being caused by the Roux-en-Y.

They could not do all the tests on me because of the by-pass. I will be seeing my surgeon in May.

Maybe someone in the medical field on here, can tell me if they have heard of this.

I am home now, still in pain, recovering slowly. Never thought I would say this but I lost another 12 lbs in 13 days and am quite skinny and grey.

Thank you anyone out there...

I found this study - it's slightly higher for RNY patients but not a whole lot. Good luck! I hope you have a speedy recovery.
