kidney stones gastric bypass

Intermittent sharp pain between left kidney and moving round to the front. Ben tested for infection(none) and kidney stones(negative) no blockages in renal system. Doc says some kind of muscular problem and has given me anti-inflamatory pills. Seems to have very little effect. Often when I urinate the pain goes. Its disturbing to say the least. If anyone has any thoughts - grateful to hear from them.

"there's something about the surgery all by itself that cures the diabetes." I disagree with the above statement as well as these doctors. "With some operations like gastric bypass or similar procedures, the remission of diabetes symptoms is very quick after surgery, which even precedes the weight loss," said Dr. Francesco Rubino, a surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

He is 25 and last year began to have painful episodes with passing kidney stones. One stone had to be treated with shockwave lithroscopy. Scans indicate multiple, bilateral stones. Since that time, he has had gastric pain, nausea, flank pain, sleeplessness, etc. I had a parathyroid adenoma a couple of years ago myself, so I was familiar with the problems of high calcium and requested some tests. They have come back and shown a calcium level of 10.; 10.2 and 10.6. However, his PTH was 10.

I had some abdominal pain under the sternum a few weeks ago that I thought was due to my gastric bypass surgery. The doctor ran a blood test and my liver test came back abnormal. I have had gastric bypass, gall bladder surgery(2000) and I also suffered a miscarriage 5 weeks ago. The week I had the test done I was taking Panadol Forte. I smoke, but I do not drink. The doctor told me not to worry and scheduled me for another test in 8 weeks.

Anyway, once my weight loss plateaued I started having other medical issues like kidney stones and a-fib. I dealt with this for several months and just recently saw my endocrinologist in February and found out that I had secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by a Vitamin D deficiency...as well as hypothryroid. The hyperparathyroidism is what is causing the a-fib and kidney stones to the best of their knowledge. It all comes down to the Vit. D though.

m,y husband was always vomiting from a gastric bypass done 15 yrs. ago. He had it revised and the vomiting got better, but the anesthesia damaged his heart. Did you have a gastric bypass or lapband?

I have had gastric bypass and cannot have an ERCP. I have a dilated common bile duct and some discomfort. How can these bile stones be passed? What can I do to prevent them in the future.

Thanks so much for your answer and honesty. I am debating between gastric bypass and lap band and you gave me input to help with the decision. There seems to be a lot of restrictions and possible problems in the lapband, but the bypass is so radical with all the rerouting of internal organs. I am still on the fence.

tiny stones) in my kidneys and have been drinking lots of water and using kidney cleanse supplements. They are helping. I drank lots of caffeine and little water for many years... How are you doing? --J.

inadequate intake, inadequate exposure to sunlight, gut disorders such as IBS, Crohn’s disease, malabsorption syndromes and even gastric bypass that limit its absorption, and impaired conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites such as in liver or kidney disorders. Rarely this is a hereditary disorder.

Hi there, No, it is definitely not reflux. It can be a bowel obstruction due to the gastric bypass or a Gallstone stuck or passing somewhere. But GERD does not cause this severe and sudden onset of pains. Did they do an ultra sound of his Gallbladder? but one would think that the CAT scan would be more accurate and pick up on stones or obstructions. But his pain is NOT normal. All the best and I am praying that the Docs find a true diagnosis soon.

2 out years out from gastric bypass. For about 3weeks now I have had terrible heart burn. Constant burning. Any ideas?

You could have kidney stones, and your doctor can do a urine test and CT to rule it out. The symptoms are there. I am not a doctor, but I have had kidney stones, and they hurt something aweful, just beneath the rib cage and around to the back. Sometimes the pain gets worse when the stone is moving or trying to move. Good news, they have lithotripsy now that breaks up the stones into tiny particles, which helps to get them out. There are other solutions too.

my wife has had the gastric-bypass back in july of 2008, how will the gastric bypass affect her sex drive.

Gastric banding, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, Mini-Gastric Bypass, Duodenal Switch are all great suggestions. Someone also suggested the Gastric Balloon. Your uncle has significant amount of weight to lose and the balloon is a temporary device that stays in the stomach for only six months. Not the right solution. The support and aftercare program is just as important, if not more important, than the surgery itself.

Its more then likely gulblatter stones. My mom also had gastric bypass surgery. It's very common to get this. You **** get it checked out to make sure its not infected. My mom almost dyed she had to get her gulblatter removed. She had many stones in there. She was experiencing the same exact pain you are describing to us. PLEASE go get that checked out ASAP.

Im six years out from a true gastric bypass. I have kept my weight off and have done well. I've had lots of problem with my legs though. I had two knee replacements last year. Because of a lack of ability to take any NSAIDS, I ended up on methadone and narco. Now I'm trying to get off of it all. I would love to take one of those Aleve. Every time I take something, even if it's with nexium or prevacid, my stomach hurts. I feel really hungry and it starts a carbohydrate cycle.

I had a scope about 2 months ago and now I have been told since I have esophageal and reflux I that I need gastric bypass. my surgery is set for June 20th. I am very comprehensive knowing I need bypass. After reading comments with problems from gastric bypass, why would this be the best method? I didn't know of any issues with reflux. I have never had problems in the past.

anyone on here had gastric bypass and if so have yall found that we dont absorb meds like we used to

Before they do a surgery like gastric bypass you have to loose a certain amount of weight before they will work on you. My mom had it done about 5 years ago and she was on a strict diet plan..its expensive and I believe with diet and exercise you can achieve the same results..

Hi there...this is not the gastric bypass forum so unfortunately we would not be able to help you out with that. Also, on the nicotine...you may want to google that not too sure. If you click on forums on the top of the screen I believe there is a forum for weight loss surgeries and I believe you would get alot more responses there! Best of luck to you!

Yes, gastric bypass is effective. Yes, it can help you. Yes, its major surgery with implications for you for the rest of your life. It can be a life saver, or a source of misery for many years. Before deciding, have a consult with some reputable surgeons and interview former patients. Many have preop classes you can go to.

I am 8 years post gastric bypass. Lost 110 lbs. Then had gall bladder removed. I have other neck and arthritis pain issues which I take tramadol for. Recently I have had really bad headaches with tremors. The doctor first gave me predisdone for nine days... Did not do anything. Then he gave me depakote which has helped with the twitches and tremors. But I still have the headache and roaring in my head. Now I am getting sudden pain on my right side just below my ribs.

Hi im just wondering if theres anybody on here who has had gastric bypass or any weight loss surgery?

Gastric bypass pts cant take any other pain meds except tramadol& im tempted to take one. Plus i have a 2 ina half year old daughter so i feel bad that i she has to see me feeling crappy. Anybody?

I had the gastric bypass due to diabetes. I am currently on the butrane patch and oxycod/acetamin 7.5 mg. The oxy are not working at all and believe due to the gastric bypass my body is not absorbing it right. Thank you for any suggestions.
