Kidney stone blasting day

Well since my last post, Ive been to the urologist, taken x-rays, multiple urine tests, more blood tests and another EKG.  It appears they will have to insert a spiral stent into the tube between my bladder and kidney to allow for the pcs of my "big" thorny staghorn kidney stone.  Tomorrow morning I report for surgery and blasting at 7am. Fun times.   So.. I thought I'd mention that the dr's office was concerned about me getting xrays.. said i might be too heavy for the xray table and made a huge deal of it.  pretty embarrassing, however, when I got to the xray place there was no mention or concern.  I hate being this size.

This has also pushed back my gastric bypass surgery.  Urologist says its unknown when I'll be ok for it but we will know better after the procedure and the passing of my stones.  So, for now I postponed it to the next available date which happens to be July 16th, the day before my 40th bday which kinda sucks.. but hey.. its a new year right? I'll be heading home on my bday with clear liquids and jello celebration lol.

Im a lil nervous for tomorrow, but im sure all will be ok.  im more nervous for the pain of the stent and passing of the stones. Hopefully it will go smoothly and I can get back on the excitement for my RNY in July.
