I do not: think the pancreatitis is related to your recent sleeve surgery HOWEVER contact the surgeon who did the surgery ASAP (If he/she was not already contacted by the ER crew) Hope this is helpful Dr Z

A member asked:

Ive been feeling a bit dizzy recently so I checked my glucose levels fasting and it is 7.4. Could I have diabetes? I did have an elevated lipase a couple of weeks back but normal amylase & dr said its possibly mild pancreatitis?

A member asked:

My amylase and lipase levels are mildly elevated (159 and 152 respectively) and Ive been getting recurrent once a month diarrea thats oily for a few years. Otherwise no pain.. is pancreatitis unlikely given the lack of symptoms? (Never drank?

A member asked:

If I vape and I have pancreatitis am I risking a flare up or no? No pain from pancreatitis just blood work had high lipase and amylase and liver enzymes but was due to an infection?

A member asked:

Ive had pancreatic enzymes checked a few times over the years. Lipase has never been elevated but amylase fluctuates. Ive had it as high as 300. Ive also had it just above the range and normal as well. Never pancreatitis. Could be cancer ???

A member asked:

Can you have pancreatitis with normal blood test levels? Or will lipase and amylase be elevated? How would it be diagnosed?
