Dang Bob, that sucks.
Keep us posted.
Like Taku said, take a look at what you eat. Seems we "self-inflict" stuff on ourselves with the bad food available here in the USA.
I don't know anything about med stuff. Is Gall and Pancreas stuff easy to treat?
Fats are what aggravate it, and eliminating the fat is what helps it heal. Then eat it in moderation.
Stay clear of olive oil when the gall bladder and pancreas is inflamed.
I used a method with olive oil to try and purge the stone and damned killed myself, so don't believe that cure.
It makes the gall bladder contract, and You would probably prefer to shoot yourself than go through that pain.
It makes a kidney stone feel like a little splinter in comparison.
