Johanna,
Thank you so much for your response. After l posted my message this morning l rang the surgeon, he rushed me in to see him this morning and l have not long returned from his office. He convinced me to go ahead with the surgery, but again after reading this site l am in two minds everyone l know who has had the surgery is fine, but me l am still not sure. Please explain the flushing will l be sick do the stones get stuck and cause more pain the surgeon said that the flush will not get rid of the stones and that l am just prolonging what eventually has to happen. Sorry to ask so many questions but time is running out and to be honest the only people who do not want me to have surgery is strangers on the internet all the people around me are pushing me in this direction. I have never been so confused.
