Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 HellO All~* I am 27y/o with two kids DS7 and DD6. Both PGs I had Kidney Stones. The first one I passed when I was PG after being on Demerol for a month and spending some time in the hospital. The second PG the stones were too big to pass. And also spent time in the hospital. In the end I had i think it's called lithotripsy. And they told me it was pregnancy induced calicum build up. Also had lots of Kidney Infections when PG. After the lithotripsy I never had problems with my kidneys until this month I ended up in the hospital with a Kidney Infection. I was told after the lithotripsy that I had a few gall stones and nothing was said or done after that...I actually kind of forgot about it. Well when I was in the hospital this time I had a Cat scan and all they could see was my kidney was severly enlarged due to infection. Spent a few days in there. Well next someone came in and gave me a ultrasound. Next thing I was eating my lunch(first food I was able to eat in days) and some DR came in took my lunch from me and said I am taking your gall bladder we are going to get you preped for surgery. I said No your not. He said yes I am...not your not..yes I am...about 15 min of arguing with me he finally left after punching the wall and telling me I was going to die if I didn't get it taken out today. Oh yeah I was also arguing that I could do it a different day. I was like Thursday would work for me. He said the wall around the kidney was thick which could mean infection. Anyways...that was all before I talked to my DR to let me know what was going on. Sorry this is getting long...Well my Dr came in and said i really needed to do this and to get my hubsand on the phone. I said well at least can I have a 2nd oppinion? Well Dr#2 came in and said With my kidney infection even if my gall bladder was infected...He would wait 6 weeks to have the infection from my kidney cleared up(which I had no signs that it was my gall bladder all the symtoms came up as it was my kidney infection). He wasn't pushing it he just said it would need to come out eventually but when is up to me. Shold do it in 6 weeks.I have been stressing out about this I thought getting it out was my ONLY option. Been looking around and I can't find the answers I am looking for. I would love all suggestions on alternatives! I only had one silly reason for not wanting it out at that time is because one person told me they couldn't eat with out having diareah. And it was the biggest mistake they ever made. Really they can be passed? Here is a Stupid question??? Uhhh....when it's passed does it go through the uhhhh pee or poop??? SOrry this is so long and I kind of rambled I should be in bed right now but I can't get this out of my mind. Thanks in Advance~!
