surgery after surgery

Waiting for kidney stone surgery I sleeved 6/11/13. I've been dealing with this stone for weeks :( I was only back to work for 2.5 weeks before this began. My work is really unhappy!

Your work will be a Whole Lot Unhappier if you have a blocked kidney stone at work. (If you do, yell and scream LOUDLY)

I did work with 3 kidney stones for 4 days. I passed one at work now one is caught above my bladder and one in my kidney. Worst part is I am a nurse

I've had them before but small enough to pass. It hurts, drink tons of Water, pee alot and its done. This is the worst I've had and biggest cause I can't pass it and it took close to 2 weeks to see an urologist

Oh no. At least you can rid yourself of the painful stone(s). I had one before my sleeve and oh lordy I thought I was going to die from the pain.

Ive actually had to have surgery twice since sleeve. One was a ventral hernia about 5 months post op and last month I had an emergency appendectomy. Im sure my work wasnt real happy about that either but there isnt anything you can do about that. When surgery is needed you have to do it.

Good luck with your kidney stone surgery.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
