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!!

      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.
