I've been in severe pain and throwing up most of the day so I went to the ER. My urine sample was almost entirely blood and a CT scan found that I have an 8mm kidney stone!!! Yikes!!!

I've had kidney stones 6 times previously, but never one this large. I will need surgery to have it removed, so they will probably admit me to the hospital for the night to control the pain/nausea and then schedule surgery for tomorrow morning.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

so sorry this happened to you! I had my first kidney stone experience - it was 6mm but theoreticlly narrow enough to pass. It never did, and so after a pretty dang long time i had that day surgery "procedure" where they blast it and put a stent in. They threatened to admit me due to the out of control pain but I wanted to go home - it really is THAT bad though. It has been hellish and I am only now feeling like I am returning to normal (stent removed Monday!). I am so sorry you are going through this - it is way more painful and life disrupting than I ever fathomed it could be....

Hang in there!

Wow -- it feels like a kidney stone epidemic around here. ;)

Good luck to you, young man.

I hope your urologist saves and analyzes the stone -- to see what's causing the problem and what (if anything) you need to change in your diet.

Good luck I hope the surgery solves your problem. Sounds very painful and I bet you will be glad to have it gone.

Praying for a quick and low pain recovery! Veterans is there any link between weight loss surgery and kidney stones? A long time ago a friend lost a bunch of weight on Atkins and his doctor said his Atkins diet caused his kidney stones. We eat high Protein after surgery so I am wondering if there is connection? Or maybe Calcium supplements?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
