  1. I have had many and I went to a specialist and told me, it's fine, no big deal. Famous last worlds. I dont want to scare you or anyone else but I either people be safe then sorry. After many infections and antibiotics, it was becoming monthly visits. I was probably about 7 years out. On a Christmas eve I thought I had the flu. I started throwing up, then a fever. I sat on the bed to take my temp and it was 103. All I remember is saying "call 911". And I had no idea I walked to the ambulance, I felt them cut my clothes off. They thought I was have a heart ache. Went through the Cath lab. Nothing. My husband said what about the kidney stone so they did a full body scan. It was trying to exit my body. They went in and pushed it back. Mean while I was Septic from Dec 26 to Jan 4. Talked crazy out of my head. Spent 3 weeks in the hospital, gained a bunch of weight and couldn't put my clothes on. And so many stents in and out and that's so uncomfortable. They kept sending a young kid in for PT. And I was in a hospital gown and catheter. So I told him to get out. He said I will tell your doctor and I said that's fine I am not afraid of him either. So I went home and taught myself to walk again. A month later, I went back because I got sick again. I had 3 cysts trapped around the kidney and killed the kidney. Had to be on IV antibiotics for months at home with a drain out my back. So if a doctor says you cant die from a kidney stone, don't believe them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BariatricPal mobile app
