You two need a room together! I hope that you don't need surgery either. I couldn't remember that word, lithotripsy. Lord, I feel like I am losing my mind... if anyone sees it please return it to me I will pay your for the postage... Well I am off to another day at the grind. And yes, that is literally what it feels like. I think I am needing some major changes in my life right now job wise. Later! Val 32 ounces??? HOLY COW! Did they not realize your were s/p gastric bypass! OMG. Sorry, that just sunk in...

Sounds like she has! Well I will keep my fingers crossed they pass on their own! My co-worker just had some lithotripsy last week to get rid of hers. I had a CT with oral and IV contrast the day before yesterday. They wanted me to drink 32oz of the Barium Sulfate!!! NOT!! I made them give me an alternative and mixed that with some crystal light. It took me a good hour to drink just the 16oz. I couldnt get the rest in. Anyway, on top of everything I ended up having an allergic reaction to the IV dye a few minutes after the 2nd pass on the scan. It started out with hives, breathing issues, coughing, swollen lip, itchy throat, full blown asthma attack. They had it under control within 15 minutes with just a shot of benadryl and put me on oxygen. My surgeon was great though. He came running down just to check on me and listen to my breathing to make sure I was ok. Then he made fun of me for causing him so much trouble. It was all good though. Instead of having to wait for the read he and the radiologist just looked at the images together immediately. I'm feeling fine this morning so maybe this mystery pain will just vanish on its own and I won't need more surgery.

Aww Val. Poor Megan! What will her treatment be? Hopefully she can get rid of them fast.
