Good for you--you have tons of support so do not let them bully you-

Pancreas issues are very common in cats and go undetected because they do not show symptoms like a dog. Often by the time the BW is done the levels have come down which ,makes it more complicated.
Cats with FD are especially susecptible due to a already weak pancreas.(or even just nausea) Your vet should want you to be prepared for Gizmo.
Many of us have gone thru vet after vet to find one that "gets it" when you go in with the knowledge you have they tend to treat you a bit differently.
I hope Gizmo has a good day and you can get the supportive care you need to have handy...
