Mayo in Jacksonville is about an hour and 45 min from me. I’ve been there before and they were amazing! I’m really considering going back. I seen the surgeon’s PA today. She never even touched me just looked through my records and said nothing was wrong

I am sorry you are unwell, I suggest you make an appointment with a Gastroenterologist for long term follow up, in the interim go to the emergency room, the pain and lack of a bowel movement are reasons enough to seek treatment. Go back to the surgeon as well, they someone should do a HIDA scan, upper GI and possibly a barium enema as well as blood work to check your liver function, electrolytes and a CBC work. Stick to your feelings and tell them you are unwell, and cannot/will not leave until you know what is wrong and how to treat it/feel better. I had my Gallbladder removed in December 2022 and had a rocky go of it as well with 2 Ed visits, a GI visit, a PCP visit and back to the surgeon. Took about 8 weeks for me to start to eat I lost a good amount of weight, and have some normal bowel movements and feel better.

OMG!
Please go to Mayo in Jacksonville.
If you can't get an appointment right away,
Go to the ER as an emergency. DA!
years ago when I went to mayo in minnesota,
I met the husband of a wife, mother of 4 children from the midwest, she was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. They lived in Idaho.
When she couldn't get an appointment right away, she went to the emergency department, was seen by a pancreatic specialist. Her husband was so grateful. I think they even had their children with them.
I will keep praying.
Good Luck.
