I'm hoping someone will be able to give me some information on getting rid of excess skin surgically. I would like to know some surgeons, procedures and costs, and scars. It doesn't matter to me if the surgeon is in Maine or not. I'm willing to travel to another state or country.

Thank you in advance.

Topic: RE: Kidney stones

Hi Hope you are doing well after surgery. Kidney stones can also be caused by not getting in enough fluids. Yes they are something to watch for like the gall bladder. Hope you are doing well otherwise. Yes it has been a long time.

take care

Topic: Kidney stones

Hi everyone been a long time since I have been on here.
Wanted to caution everyone about something. Thursday I am having a surgery to try and remove kidney stones, two biggest are 8mm and 10mm and I have two small ones. The urologists said that the gastric bypass surgery causes my body (everyones) to absorb oxalates that cause stones differently. I would have still had the surgery but if I knew this was something to watch for before they got so big it would have been nice...

Topic: RE: Hi everyone

Nate, I would like to try to make it to the support group as well. I had my surgery in 2008 and have yet to make it to one of the meetings (i guess life gets busy). Can you tell me what time it is being held? Is it still 4:30-6:30pm?

Thanks in advance for the info,

Julie W.

I haven't been posting much on here but I do check the boards often and hope everyone is doing well. I hope to be at the support group at EMMC tomorrow and look forward to seeing many of you there.

Take care,
Nate
