I've been in severe pain and throwing up most of the day so I went to the ER. My urine sample was almost entirely blood and a CT scan found that I have an 8mm kidney stone!!! Yikes!!!

I've had kidney stones 6 times previously, but never one this large. I will need surgery to have it removed, so they will probably admit me to the hospital for the night to control the pain/nausea and then schedule surgery for tomorrow morning.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

so sorry this happened to you! I had my first kidney stone experience - it was 6mm but theoreticlly narrow enough to pass. It never did, and so after a pretty dang long time i had that day surgery "procedure" where they blast it and put a stent in. They threatened to admit me due to the out of control pain but I wanted to go home - it really is THAT bad though. It has been hellish and I am only now feeling like I am returning to normal (stent removed Monday!). I am so sorry you are going through this - it is way more painful and life disrupting than I ever fathomed it could be....

Hang in there!

Wow -- it feels like a kidney stone epidemic around here. ;)

Good luck to you, young man.

I hope your urologist saves and analyzes the stone -- to see what's causing the problem and what (if anything) you need to change in your diet.

Good luck I hope the surgery solves your problem. Sounds very painful and I bet you will be glad to have it gone.

Praying for a quick and low pain recovery! Veterans is there any link between weight loss surgery and kidney stones? A long time ago a friend lost a bunch of weight on Atkins and his doctor said his Atkins diet caused his kidney stones. We eat high Protein after surgery so I am wondering if there is connection? Or maybe Calcium supplements?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
