Alright folks....
So I went and talked to my Surgeon. Great guy. Same guy that took my appendix out. I wonder if he is starting a scrap book. So after the blood work yesterday it looks like my levels are ...well, leveling out. Chemically, it looks like my pancreatitis was caused by a gallstone. However, since there isnt any clear and present danger, he was 100% comfortable with me waiting until it becomes an issue. (ie: the pain happens again). The big reason I dont want to do it now is because I did unintentionally fast(not eat) for 4 days cuz I was sick and lost about 10-15 lbs during that time. That might have caused the gallstone. So basically the next time I get a substantial pain and pancreatitis, I will most likely proceed with removing it. You hear that gallbladder....you got a stay of execution....dont mess up.

Great to hear JAMAS! And sounds like you really told that GB a thing or two to shape up or he's going to be shipped out!
