Could this be chronic pancreatitis?

There is an issue with the gastrectomy which could possibly be causing the issue. They left what is called a blind loop which is basically an appendage that goes no where. It is longer than they would have expected so the thought is that food maybe getting stuck in there and causing pain till it comes out. They were trying to rule everything else out first because this would be a major surgery. I am not sure what is next, I a, waiting to hear back from the doctor. It is very frustrating because I know there is an issue and they have been unable to pinpoint it. This has been going on since October. Not being able to eat without pain has been extremely hard. I am hoping the doctors have a plan soon.

It's so frustrating but you hang in there and be you own advocate. Just keep questioning and keep on your medical team. That's what helped me get a diagnosis. It might take a while but I'm hopeful your team will determine a diagnosis.
