A night in the ER
Soo last night I got to spend a good portion of my evening/morning in the ER! Good ole Kidney stones :( That was by far the most horrible pain I have EVER felt! But on a brighter note....the CT Scan showed my sleeve looks GREAT! No leaks or anything! Thankfully the stones have passed but I'm just super tired from all the crying and pain meds they gave me.
My sympathies! Someone asked me once whether kidney stones or having a baby was the worse, and I said that at least the baby comes out in a day or so!
Glad your sleeve held up and the stones are gone!

Ugh, I am so sorry. I've had 3 different episodes of kidney stones over the years. My dad has had 27. They are awful!!!!!

I went through that this pat year! 2 weeks post VSG I was in the ER because I thought I had a leak in my sleeve. Nope - kidney stones. I think I'm the only patient that ER doc ever had who was glad to have a diagnosis of kidney stones! The alternative would have been so much worse. Glad you passed them - it went on for 2 months for me before emergency surgery to remove it. Yuck.
Welcome to the kidney stone survivor club!
I had kidney stones shortly after the birth of my second child. I can say with authority that I would rather go through labor again than pass another kidney stone!
