three months post op and ohhh boyyyy

Well a month and a half after bypass surgery i got pancreitis and gallstones. Had surgery to remove my gallbladder. A month and a half later i now have a 7.5 mm kidney stone. Last friday i had surgery to have a stent put in, and this friday i have surgery to blast the stone and get the stent out. So thats four surgeries in three months. Taking a hit on my wallet since all togerher i couldnt work seven weeks. Still down 52 pounds and no regrets.

First, good attitude!  Secondly, hope the rest of your journey is uneventful. You could use a break. Congrats on your weight loss so far. That's amazing!!!

Wow, good attitude but I really hope things start going better for you after all this. Good Luck!!! Keep your chin up!!

Well, at least the stent placement and lithotripsy to blast the stones don't involve any cutting of anything, so the recovery time is minimal.  (I just had it done last Wednesday for  8mm and 10mm stones.)  I am on round three of kidney stones since my RNY 6 years ago (and never had one before then), so I know how miserable they can be.  It will be even more important for you to stay very well hydrated since you are obviously one prone to stones.
