Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Has anyone else had this problem? I have a friend that had her bypass done December will be 3 years ago. Well, anyway last year she started having a problem with kidney stones. She had to have them surgically removed and in the past several months she started having more problems. The stones last year let so much scar tissue that she has to have her urethea completely replaced. She had never had any problems in the past with stones and when the doctor read that she had bypass surgery he asked her if she was told not to drink when she ate. She of course said yes and that she always followed that rule. He said that this is the reason that she has the stones. That when you don't drink when you eat that the food just sits there and starts crystallizing, or something like that and creates the stones. This is just a heads up for everyone, of course not everyone maybe effected the same way. I have always drank when I eat, I just couldn't not drink. So, I may not have any kidney problems, but I have had a problem with gaining 30 pounds of my weight back, because the food goes through so fast, I stay hungry all the time.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Yes, kidney stones are regular visitors. Many of us were told to take Tums or calcium carbonate. So, we did. And we paid. We also were never really scared off coffee, tea, colas. Not that they are poisonous, but we tend to drink them by the gallon, not by the cup. And the tannic acids & phosphates build up and build lovely oxalate stones. Then you get someone like me who just has trouble with water, and presto, instant stone machine. According to the urologists (Don's & mine), it is VERY common for us.
