Lithotripsy

I had a 9mm busted in October of 2013. The pain beforehand was the worst part.....when the thing was moving from my kidney to my bladder. They knocked me out, did the shockwave thing, and sent me home. I passed the chunks a week or 2 later. Passing them didn't hurt, in my case. I was peeing, and the flow just kinda stopped, then PLINK, PLINK, PLINK! I have not had another one since, and don't plan to! I only drink water with lemon. Doc says that's the best thing to prevent them. Must be something to it...I've been x rayed 4 times since I passed mine, and have zero kidney stones! Tea is bad, as is wheat bread, too much milk, and antacid stuff like Tums. Hope your procedure went well. You might pee blood the first time or 2, so don't be alarmed. That's normal, and goes away quickly.
