So looks like I got 2 kidney stones! It was during a body check up I did an ultra sound (doctor though I had fatty livers but turns out they are fine). From the ultra sound they find 2 kidney stones on my left kidney. Went to a specialist and did a CT scan. The one big stone is about 1.5cm and the small one is tiny. The specialist said the big stone are too big to use the the wave the crush it into little piece for me to pee out. Also leaser won't work coz again is too big.

So I have to do a surgery where they are going to drill a tiny hole right under my left rib cage and suck the stones out. I will be full under but I am wondering after the surgery how painful it will be? How long should I take off work to recover? I am hoping to take 3 to 4 days off coz I don't really want to use my vacation days lol. I am most likely going to be drinking liquid only for the first week or so. Doctors don't know what cause it but base on my past eating habits is could either be I don't drink enough water or all the junk food I have eaten in the past......

Edit I also don't feel any pain at all. I do experience back pain from time to time or once awhile I would wake up in the middle of night wanting to puke.
