Are Kidney Stones Common After GB? – Thinner Times® Forum

Are kidney stones common after gastric bypass? I thought I had researched everything pretty well, but haven’t really found anything that associates the kidney stone with bypass surgery. I’ve seen where some members have had stones, but am curious if this a complication of the surgery.

So, long story short, I ended up in the ER last night with one. Who thought something so small could cause such excruciating pain??? Vicadin (sp?) isn’t touching the pain. This is horrible (maybe I’m just being a big baby), but I need some kind of relief. Any suggestions?
