I've had pancreatitis a bunch of times. I get it from gallstones blocking my pancreas. I've had my gallbladder removed but I still get pancreatic stones sometimes causing more pancreatitis flare ups. Pancreatitis is unbearably painful. I have to go to the ER immediately when it happens and I'm admitted to the hospital for days after that. Everytime. I'm no doctor, but if you explained your concern over the phone to your dr, that you think you could have pancreatitis, they would have sent you to the ER right away. Pancreatitis is very serious and can be fatal.
