I had my gallbladder removed in august 2012 due to gallstones. The drs told me there was a 6-8 week recover period and i should be good to go. That never happened. I continued to be in pain so i saw many drs and specialists who did many tests and realized i had developed a pancreatic pseudocyst on the tail end of my pancreas most likely caused from the gallstones. They decided to drain the pseudocyst in december 2012 but i am still having symptoms of the pancreatitis. Does anyone know how long it could take for me to recover from pancreatitis caused from gallstones?
