    That is what I am exactly suffering now. It happened years ago, too. I didn’t notice that my vomitting was because of prancreatitis. I have awful upper abdominal pain and yes since the pain was radiating my back I blamed my kidney stones. I don’t have gallstones. My gallbladder was removed by surgery years ago. Can someone suffering prancreatitis take an 18 hour long flight? I am referred to lab tests after USG imaging. The physician referred me to lab tests to decide whether I have also diabetes. I am overweight but not obese. However, he advised diet. He has not yet diagnosed prancreatitis. He asked me to bring the lab results. I hope I won’t need hospitalisation. I already arranged my flight.
