almost 3 months out. just found out I have a kidney stone. anyone less



Recommended Posts

So im 3 months out and just found out I have a kidney stone...... even though my surgeon says My stone is totally unrelated, he told me to stop taking my Calcium. So now I just take the gallbladder medication and 2 Multivitamin each day. Im so nervous about this kidney stone. I guess its just in my kidney, just sitting there. I have no pain from it yet. They found it on an xray that I had because ever since surgery ive had pain in my right groin area. So now I have a ct scan tomorrow to see why I have pain in my right groin. Should I be taking more that just 2 Multivitamins each day. Im always feeling headaches and just unbalanced.. any advice welcomed!!!!!!

I am a year out and I have 3 small stones. They think I had 2 other that have passed. Like you I really hasn't had much pain. Drink lots of Water, it will help them pass. Make sure you get your B-12 in everyday.

If your not having pain from the stone they usually aren't a big deal and docs don't do anything..... Unless it actually becomes painful.

This is NOT medical advice just personal experience:

Chanca piedra (also sold as "stone breaker") can really help. You should be able to find it at any whole foods type store (or I order mine online). It is natural and has been used for a very long time (basically a digestive bitter).

Thanks all for your replies. I had my ctr scan today and I saw my stone in my kidney. I guess since I dont have any pain from it they say I shouldn't worry about it. But thats harder said then done. I really wish I never learned about my stone. I feel like I have a little ticking time bomb inside me. I am not looking forward to the day it wants to come out!! Thank you again!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
