I am almost 10 weeks out. About 11 days ago I go my first kidney stone EVER. Ouch! Then I ended up getting admitted to the hospital and getting an EGD and dilation. Yesterday I ended up in the ER with a kidney stone on the other side. Has anyone experienced kidney stones after surgery? Apparently WLS can make you more susceptible?

I'm still preop but just wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sure those are pretty painful! Hope you are feeling better!

Please say it isn't so..........

The worst pain I have ever experienced in my life was my third stone. I have broke ribs, a leg and shattered my ankle they hurt but not as bad as my last stone.

I was able to pass the first two but the third they had to go in for it. Just to think that there may be more to come has me thinking about my next week surgery??

I feel sorry for you, but it sounds like you came through it OK. Good luck and hopefully it will be your last.

Thanks for the well wishes. Just because it happened to me doesn't mean it will happen to anyone else, I just wondered if anyone else had experienced an increase in them since surgery.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
