@ainsle14, welcome to connect and I have chronic pancreatitis, so I have dealt with a diagnosis of elevated lipase quite a bit, but it has always been accompanied by an elevated amylase count also. Did you get any indication that that number was also elevated? I have had so many imaging studies of my pancreas that I can tell you that the P is a very small organ that hides itself well - it is camera shy. After one set, the docs went in to do a celiac plexus block (sort of an epidural for the abdomen) and they discovered a large tumor. I don't say that to alarm you, but simply to make the point that not everything shows up on scans of the P. If you continue to have the same symptoms, it may be wise to have an ERCP performed to get a really good look at your pancreas. Do you still have your gall bladder? Let ma see if I can find a few other folks who have had pancreas or enzyme issues and I will send a separate post.
Be blessed, Gary
