Kidney stones after weight loss surgery



Recommended Posts

Anyone else having trouble with kidney stones after surgery. My Dr. thinks I may have them. Dr. says it can come from rapid weight loss and high Protein diet. Didn't expect that. Well that sucks cause it's a high Protein diet for life.

a few years back I was having a problem with stones. The urologist suggested I get plenty of Water in my diet and a good amount of Vitamin C.He stated that ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) would help to cut down on the stone formation. It seems to have worked for me as I have not had another since. Talk to your doc and get his take on it

Hmm, unfortunately I can relate. I was doing so well until I ran into the kidney stone brick wall. OMG!!! Childbirth has NOTHING repeat NOT ONE THING on a kidney stone. I had barely had any issues with nausea and seriously I was chilling. Then!!!!! Oh, did I fail to mention that I'm still not a month post op. It's difficult to even Celebrate my weight loss and the fact that I've been taken off of one of my bp mess!!!!

Say no to kidney stones.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
