I underwent surgery for weight loss and have developed 2
episodes of kidney stones. Is this related?
Yes, certain surgeries like stomach bypass, weight loss
surgery, inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhea can affect the
biochemical and digestive processes in the gut and make one prone to kidney
stones. Your surgeon should have warned you about this. Hydration and avoidance
of certain foods are the key to preventon of kidney stones after bariatric
procedures
