almost 3 months out. just found out I have a kidney stone. anyone less



Recommended Posts

So im 3 months out and just found out I have a kidney stone...... even though my surgeon says My stone is totally unrelated, he told me to stop taking my Calcium. So now I just take the gallbladder medication and 2 Multivitamin each day. Im so nervous about this kidney stone. I guess its just in my kidney, just sitting there. I have no pain from it yet. They found it on an xray that I had because ever since surgery ive had pain in my right groin area. So now I have a ct scan tomorrow to see why I have pain in my right groin. Should I be taking more that just 2 Multivitamins each day. Im always feeling headaches and just unbalanced.. any advice welcomed!!!!!!

I am a year out and I have 3 small stones. They think I had 2 other that have passed. Like you I really hasn't had much pain. Drink lots of Water, it will help them pass. Make sure you get your B-12 in everyday.

If your not having pain from the stone they usually aren't a big deal and docs don't do anything..... Unless it actually becomes painful.

This is NOT medical advice just personal experience:

Chanca piedra (also sold as "stone breaker") can really help. You should be able to find it at any whole foods type store (or I order mine online). It is natural and has been used for a very long time (basically a digestive bitter).

Thanks all for your replies. I had my ctr scan today and I saw my stone in my kidney. I guess since I dont have any pain from it they say I shouldn't worry about it. But thats harder said then done. I really wish I never learned about my stone. I feel like I have a little ticking time bomb inside me. I am not looking forward to the day it wants to come out!! Thank you again!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
