Hello!!

I have had a leak and I am going through a lot with the sleeve. I am wanting to find someone who has been down or is currently going down this road. It's rough. I have been reaching out and receiving amazing support from other sleeved friends Dec Sleevers are nothing short of AMAZING!! I think it would be nice chat or text with someone who has been here.

Hi!

Thanks! This thread (although informative) scared the mess out of me!

Hi!

Thanks! This thread (although informative) scared the mess out of me!

They are pretty rare.. But I can see that reading this would be scary! It's not been an easy road for Sannah and the others that have gone through this.

But odds are in your favor and you most likely will be fine

Sannah so sorry you are dealing with all of this! ((Hugs))

Hi.

Laura is absolutely right.

My story is not typical. While I realize it's scary to read and it has been scary for me to endure. It has been hard for my family to witness. Please take away this one thing; listen to your body!! You know it best!!! Always better safe than sorry.

Congrats on your sleeve!! Go rock your sleeve and gain health!!! In time I will catch up to you!!!

Best,

Sannah

Hi Sannah

I was trying to figure out what size would a 1/4 inch stone be in mm

I'm horrible with math but this is what I found for some information

If stones grow to sufficient size (usually at least 3 millimeters (0.12 in)) they can cause obstruction of the ureter. Ureteral obstruction causes postrenal azotemia and hydronephrosis (distension and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces)' date=' as well as spasm of the ureter. This leads to pain, most commonly felt in the flank (the area between the ribs and hip), lower abdomen, and groin (a condition called renal colic)[/quote']

Hi Lisa,

I don't known in mm either. Thank you for this information. Although its scary to read, I need to hear it. I am starting to pass white tissue. The nephrologist said its from the stone tearing tissue in my kidneys as it moves around.

I am on the verge if going to the ER out of fear. I know this isn't your intension. I feel miserable and I am trying to remain strong and bear this out at home. I don't feel I am doing anything dangerous, but not sure how much I can take.

My hubby, mom and sister are caring for my daughter again. It's hurtful for me, I want to nurture and care for her daily.

Thank you for finding this information for me.

Best,

Sannah

I think it's about 6 mm Sannah please go to the hospital ...

Are you taking the anti nausea meds? And still throwing up?

sorry Sannah I never want to tell anybody what to do.

I just hate that you are having such a hard time... I would hate going to the ER too, Because sometimes you don't get any relief there either..

I'm at a loss and and really at the end of the day don't know to much about what your going through.

Are you taking the anti nausea meds? And still throwing up?

Yes,

I take zofran, promethazine and wear the transderm SCOP patch. I take Oxycodone 10mg every four hours. Dr. Said the combination of oxycodone, cyclonenoprine and Tylenol should help. When the pain gets bad I take Dalaudid in place of the oxycodone.

Yes, I still was vomiting. I just vomit with the pain. Today the pain has been pretty low ranging from 5-7. I do not like to take medicine, I generally am not the type of person who uses OTC medication for much. After the sleeve I took Advil. I was able to keep some protein down at my dinner meal.

I told the dr I don't want surgery in my appointment because all I have been through. So maybe she is trying to keep to this? It's a hard place to be. I talked to the nephrologist and my PCP, they keep telling me all this stuff I feel is normal for kidney stones. Then I talk to you guys and it doesn't seem so normal. It's confusing and scary.

No you are right..it is normal to feel a LOT of pain.

I didn't know you decided that you didn't want surgery... That does change things! It is possible to pass larger stones. But I just wonder at what point you say "ok this isn't working maybe I should look at plan B"

I think this is because the first time I saw her I told her I had been though a lot and wasn't interested unless absolutely needed. It's true, I am not interested in going through another surgery. I feel like with these stones i either endure the pain at home or have another surgery.

It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Neither option is great. Other then stating I don't want surgery. I was not offered surgery to deny it.

This pain has made me reconsider, but surgery hasn't been offered to me. She told my hubby that I may need surgery, but wanted to do the urine tests first to see what kind of stones I have. Sounds like I need to bring it up. My PCP said they may need removed as well.

It's all overwhelming and confusing. I just know I need this part of my life to be done a s over with.

I guess what I am saying is. If offered I would do it, because I don't want to live in pain or on medicine. I have been through enough and suffered too much.

But do I go to the ER and ask for surgery to remove the stones? Seems kind of different.
