Hello, jacobsnurse, You mention that your gallbladder surgery was six years ago. I am assuming that the surgery was done through a laparoscopic approach. It is rather unusual to have problems with adhesions after this long interval. Now you mention the pancreas being abnormal. If your pancreas enzymes like Serum Amylase, Lipase were elevated, you may have pancreatitis. This can be confirmed by CT-Scan. Creon is a pancreatic enzyme supplement that is given for people who have deficiency due to repeated attacks of pancreatitis. The condition known as Chronic pancreatic insufficiency. This would make you to have fatty stools (Frothy and floats on the water and foamy as well). Hope this answers your concerns, and you can talk to your own doctor. I wish you well.
