Trouble after Surgery with kidney stones...



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Dec.16th 2012.. My first fight with kidney stones was in Jan 9th. It was the worse pain ever in my life.. Then Mar 12 th they hit me again. My husband had to carry me into the hospital the pain was so bad. I'm peeing pure blood and the doctors saying that's not good. Went to a kidney doctor today and they want me to come back Wednesday for another cat scan. I have people telling me this happens after gastric by pass surgery. One friend says she knows a lady that had gastric by pass 10 years ago and has trouble with her kidneys since she had surgery. I'm just wanting to see if anyone is having any kind of kidney troubles to . I called the surgery doc and they told me if you don't drink enough Water your kidneys will start throwing stones. Just looking to see what I can find out.. Thank you everyone ????????????

I had a kidney infection for the 1st month after surgery. It was hard because I couldn't swallow antibiotics and I could not take the liquid medication because I was dehydrated. Sometimes it doesn't feel right.. But your troubles sound horrific. I hope it gets better.

Thank u. I had a UTI on top of the the first round of stones. I'm having trouble now with the meds. Seems that I'm allergic now. My face broke out in a red rash with little blisters on It.. Same meds I took after the surgery now I can't take them. I have people telling me I should have not done the surgery. I was 240 day of surgery and down to 190 now. But I'm tall and carried my weight well. I would do it all over again to feel this way . Happy with myself!!!!! Thank u for answering me.

I think i having problems ... Not with the pain but usually once a month i get a pain in the side, or lback ( but nothing too strong) then i pee blood for a few days! I have an ultrasound next week. I did have strange colored pee sometimes before the op too but my blood / urine results always came back ok.

Good luck on you test next week. Hope everything is good for u... They done one of them while I was in the ER and it just showed swelling in the tube from my kidney to my bladder . Said that it looks like it might be causing back up into my kidney. Just hope the cat scan shows stones it not they going go in and fill my bladder with Water to take a look at it. I have been told by people that hurts like really bad. :-(

I haven't had stones since surgery last month, but have them before and the dr. Said then if you can handle kidney stones you can handle labor. Now, I don't have any children, but I trust him. Hang in there, but they are super painful. I hope they find some meds soon that you can tolerate!

I have two kids and my first baby was 10lbs when he was born. Having a baby is a lot less painful... It's lots worse then having a baby LOL. Thanks ????

      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? 🤷‍♀️
