Kidney stone after 8 wks post op

[Shannon Piper 11]

Yesterday I went to the ER with the worst back pain on my left side. A CT scan revealed a 4mm kidney stone. Mild un-obstructive stone but causing much pain. I got two different pain meds thru the IV and fluids. I drank 79.8 oz of Fluid the day before but two weeks ago I started waking up to brown urine and now I am disgusted. My white blood cell count is elevated and may have an infection. This is my second major complication from this surgery, the first being GERD which I am still suffering with. Suffering with nausea too. Having to go back to liquids again for now if I can get them down. Limping to a urologist on Tuesday but so frustrated. How has anyone else out there been treating this from a non-surgical approach? I know more fluids, I am just having so much trouble getting all the fluid in everyday.

Hi Shannon.

My 8 month mark is this Sunday. Last week I went into the ER for the same thing. They were never able to find mine, but all the evidence supports that it was there and may have passed just before the CT scan. 2 days later I began passing another one. It was a rough week to say the least. I finally felt better this past Sunday. I had horrible nausea and pain. The heating pad and narcotic helped, but nothing like when that sucker passed lol. I hope you feel better soon. On a side note I passed the 300 lb. mark today Down 78 since December 1st and 58 since my surgery. Stay the course...it will get better!!

This is one of my biggest fears. I work for the only urologist around so if I get an obstructing stone, it's one of my own docs that will be called. How embarrassing!
