Hi i had a question i am s/p gastric bypass 8 months ago and s/p gall bladder removal 4 weeks ago and today i have been experiencing abd pain i had some blood work this morning and some this evening my white count seems to be elevated and my lipase is elevated as well ct and and series were negative they think panceratits or a gall stone is it possible to have a gallstone with out a gallbladder
Hello, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I had gone through all the details posted. Elevated WBC count is suggestive of infection and elevated lipase suggests pancreatitis. During gall bladder removal, some small stones might have come out of it and block pancreatic duct that causes pancreatitis which is the most common cause of pancreatitis (gall stone induced) so even after removal the stone which has moved out of gall bladder can obstruct pancreatic duct that causes pancreatitis. Hope this helps.
