I'm a 45 yr old female, non-smoker, very rarely drink. Two years ago I lost 100 pounds after gastric bypass surgery. Also in 2007 my gallbladder and appendix were removed. In 2007 I started having some chest pains and had 3 stents placed in the LAD in 2008. I do not take Tylenol or Ibuprophen ever. I am supposed to take Vytorin for cholesterol but don't take it. My cholesterol is good after weight loss. I take Effexor 150 mg, Plavix 75 mg, and Diamox 500mg daily.
About 6-8 weeks ago, I began having RUQ pain just minutes after a meal. The pain is now pretty constant with occassional sharp pain radiating to my back, along with fatigue. My recent lab work was fine except for AST 733 and ALT 350. My Dr thought I had gallstone pancreatitis. I had a CT scan of the abdomin revealing inflammed liver and spleen. No note of stones. Since then I've been tested for hepatitis and all were negative. I am now having some itching and am so puzzled by all this. I have an appt with a GI Dr, but can't be seen until June 3rd. I'm hoping some of you may have ideas or suggestions for me. I'm just not feeling well and just want to know what I'm dealing with. I'm not sick (feeling sick) enough to be hospitalized, but can't work or do much before I'm exhausted and the pain gets worse then. Any ideas?
