Sunday morning I woke up around 3am in severe pain in my lower back and lower abdomen (right side only). I walked and walked the floors thinking it would eventually ease up..by 8am I broke down and went to the ER.. diagnosed with kidney stones and the scan shows that I have several more forming..My question is.. has anyone else had any problems with kidney stones after Gastric Sleeve surgery? I have NEVER had a kidney stone and I'm only 5 weeks post op..Thanks[emoji173]

How is you Water intake, not drinking enough could help cause them. When you pee, it should be a light yellow. At least that is what my nut told me

My buddy had his sleeve surgery 6 months ago, he has had problems with kidney stones from before the surgery. After the surgery it has gotten worse. One of the reason he forms stones is from Protein, so I think he has condemned himself to a lifetime of problems, but he was over 400 lbs, so it was a lesser of 2 evils.

I am not trying to worry you, but kidney stones are a very serious problem, hopefully you will have a solution, but yes, Water water water...

My wife has kidney stone issues (no bariatric surgery), I end up taking her to the ER at least once a year. This is once she is to the point that she can't keep anything down (so oral pain pills do not help), and IV pain meds are needed.

EDIT: You need to see a urologist. They will have you collect your stones as you pass them. They will be sent in for analysis, and they will tell you what foods to avoid, or minimize. For my wife, it is caffeine, broccoli, and a few other things. Everyone is different, so only a urologist can tell you after stone analysis. But all will tell you to maximize your water intake.

I had several bouts of kidney stones before surgery, none since.

If they turn out to be Calcium stones have your parathyroid glands checked. That was my problem.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
