Kidney Stones and Bariatric Surgery

[Clematis]

I just received this article from Fredric Coe MD of University of Chicago. He's a world renowned kidney stone expert who I contacted 2 years ago when I started getting constant stones. (In my case it turns out I can't properly metabolize calcium supplements -- even before surgery -- so they cause stones.) He was very approachable and said he was in the middle of researching the bariatric surgery connection.

Here is the link to his article:

(Hint: everything blue in his article is a link to something else. It is very easy to get "lost" on his site because of this.)

Hope it is helpful. Kidney stones SUCK.
