Sorry Ive Been Gone So Long!



Recommended Posts

I have to say that a week after breaking my knuckle, I found myself being transfers from the immediate care center to hospital for emergency surgery. I had a kidney stone stuck in my ureter tubes and blocking e erverything. I had a swollen kidney. They went in a got it out. The next day I was home. Where in I woke at three the next morning with far worse pain in the other kidney. It was a moaning, crying, painful drive to the hospital. The bf sat with me rubbing my back lightly and praying. Within seconds, the pain was gone and I felt so warm and calm. I ended up passing two stone twice the size of the first! He showed me that if you have faith and trust God, he can do things medicine sometimes falls short on. Doing better now after an IV infusion of Mag, and pills of potassium. And I found out after almost a week in hospital without eating due to beig so sick and pain meds making it worse, the pouch shrank!

Oh this is awful. I'm glad you have such a wonderful boyfriend helping you through this. I've had a uti since surgery which they have treated 3 times and I have to go get checked out tomorrow. I'm scared my kidneys have been effected.

I missed you on here! What an awful lot you been going through! Crazy! Did they say if the kidney stones were related to the bypass? Glad to here you are okay now though.

Thank you both so much!! They sent one stone in to be tested. There is a link to rny and stones. There is a real misconception about too much Calcium. It is not from too much, rather not enough. It's been crazy and the worst pain ever! I have a uti also and a kidney infection, but I've been drinking a lot of Water to help clear it up. Also, being dehydrated for long periods of time can cause a major consecration of minerals thus causing them as well. Please my RNY family, drink lots of water and watch for signs of these evil little things!

Will do! Seems like alot of people struggle to stay hydrated. I hope I never have to go through passing stones! I've seen my husband in pain from those and it was terrible!
