How are you feeling? What was the outcome from the Doctor?

I had intense pain about 4 weeks ago in right side flank area (6 weeks after sleeve surgery). I’m now down 21kg or 46.3 pounds so probably 17kg loss at that stage. Tests confirmed what the doctor at the ER suspected- a 6mm kidney stone had completely blocked the ureter. Right kidney was enlarged as a result and I had a kidney infection. Extremely painful! Surgery within about 10 hours to explode the stone and had a stent placed in ureter for 7 days after. I’ve had issues with kidney function/scarring/infections previously but this pain was on an entirely different level... they said the cause was uncertain but could be related to reduced fluid intake since the surgery (very nauseous after and struggled to eat or drink anything really). Hope they can work out what’s going on with you asap- good luck and hope you feel better soon.

I have been a member for a while but never posted. Use this site for the advice and information of others and have always found it useful. I’m certainly no expert but this may ease your stress... I am 3 weeks 3 days post op and for over a week, no loss, even a small gain. Nothing changed, I’ve continued to follow my guidelines etc and I’m even getting more iced water down by adding sliced lemon. Today I’ve finally seen the scale move and I’m very happy! Only .7kg (1.5 pounds?) but it’s a loss and I know the sleeve is working. From what I’ve read a stall/s is common but when it’s happening to you it is very disappointing and disheartening. Keep going and I’m sure it won’t be long until the loss starts again ?. Also, I’m in Australia hence the kg- not used to pounds so had to convert it.
