The worst pain!!!!!
Hey sweet stuff -
Unfortunatley, Kidney Stones CAN be a common side effect of this surgery - it's due to the excessive CALCIUM we're ingesting. It's kinda like a catch 22, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I take 2000 mg's of Calcium Citrate a day and have for 3 years, so far (thankfully) ive had NO adverse reactions to it.
I'm HOPING this link comes through and you can access it - it's a great explanation (complete with pictures of the stones that form) about Calcium Citrate.
