Felt like I was dying:(



Recommended Posts

I am post op 10 days, no problems what so ever. Cleaned out my clothes closet last night

sat down n bed around 10pm. Suddenly wracked with the most excruciating pain I have ever

had. My left side hurt right where the hip is. Called the bariatric surgeon on call and

he just told me to take some of my pain meds. So I called ER and they said come right away

cause of recent surgery. 5hrs later 4:00 in morning, I have two Kidney Stones! One passed

and one still in Kidney. Plus I got UTI.

Anyone else get this after surgery? Never had them before, but DR. says my strict diet

change could have caused them.

I doubt that the diet change could have caused kidney stones in the short amount of time it has been, but kidney stones can form in anyone at anytime, and from what I've seen there is a lot of conflicting information about what causes them, sometimes I think they just don't have a clue so they make stuff up. Good Luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
