Well its been a long while since I have posted but I come on the site and try to keep informed on everyone, I had been complaining for a year or more about flank pain and last Thanksgiving while on vacation in Florida my left ureter became totally blocked. I have had 4 nephrostomy tubes placed (2 became dislodged) The interventional radiologist tried to stent the ureter but was unsuccessful. This Thursday I will go back to the University of Chicago and have the ureter reattached to my Indiana pouch with Dr Norm Smith also 3 hernia repairs and a lymphocele removed or drained. I hope the Kidney is in good working order they did a 24 hr urine and it looked ok. I know Cynthia you had your other ureter become blocked what did you do for that??? Has anyone else here had a ureter reattachment???? Well as we all know on this site everyone hates surgery and its just my time so here I go........
