Hi, about a 1 1/2 ago I underwent a major surgery to repair my bile duct strictures, I had suffered from pancreatis from the time the took my gall bladdar until this surgery (1o years), they perfomed a roux en y (not gastric).  I now suffer from severe kidney stones, is this a side effect/result of the suregery preformed?  I had never experienced anything like this before.  They are very painful and mimick the pain of pancreatits.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. There are three problems to be discussed in you.1. History of pancreatitis ?following gall bladder surgery.2. Major surgery to repair bile duct strictures.3. Present problem with renal (kidney) stones. From your history, it is unlikely that kidney stones have developed from the earlier pancreatitis or biliary stricture problems. Since you have a history of pancreatitis, I suggest you also talk to your gastroenterologist and get your pancreas enzymes (lipase) evaluated. If raised, changes of chronic pancreatitis must be looked for through ultrasound scan or CT scan of abdomen. Your kidney stones will cause pain along sides of abdomen and radiating to pelvis, sometimes causing pain in testis if you are male. Hope this helps.
