Hello, Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. I had gone through all the details posted. elevated wbc count is suggestive of infection and elevated lipase suggests pancreatitis.
during gall bladder removal, some small stones might have come out of it and block pancreatic duct that causes pancreatitis which is the most common cause of pancreatitis (gall stone induced) so even after removal the stone which has moved out of gall bladder can obstruct pancreatic duct that causes pancreatitis..

Hope this helps..
