Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

As a matter of fact the pain should disappear in few days

Hopefully the pancreas was normal before surgery ?

Avoid fermented and spicy meals

Take a good antiinflammatory agent twice a day for five to seven days, if it does not subside in a weeks time postoperatively get a complete blood count and an ultrasound done

Hope this helps
