Most are done laparoscopically these days. Minimally invasive, but does require general anesthetic. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Feb 12, 16:16 1
- Wow, thank you. -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:26
Lemon juice and cola. LOTS of cola. And by lemon juice, I mean the cooking stuff, not the sweet stuff. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 16:11 10

- Lemon juice is was setting off the heartburn which might be linked to the stones so no lemon please. -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:12 7
  - Why were you drinking lemon juice in the first place? Seriously, not lemonade. Lemon juice. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 16:18 6
    - I was putting lemons into water. Drinking that for flavor. -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:25 5
      - You need the acid. Go with the Coke. A whole 2litre bottle/night. It'll make you throw up. And disolve the stones. -- nm - Norm Feb 12, 16:28 4
        
        This is not a joke? Can I drink Pepsi instead? I'll drink Coke but prefer Pepsi. -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:32 3

        Ive read that but it hurts a lot and there can be complications. -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:41
A routine operation that's minimally invasive. Should be NP. -- nm - con_carne Feb 12, 16:08 5
- Yes. Do I have to go under. Can I do it locally or with an epidural? P.S: WORK DOESNT KNOW YET! -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:09 4
  - I would not think so. I've had the surgery, though. It's a one-day thing. Outpatient. -- nm - Callisto Feb 12, 16:20 1
    - Thanks. -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:33
  - Good questions, I'm not sure -- nm - con_carne Feb 12, 16:10 1
    - If I don't have to go under that would put my parents at ease. -- nm - lileve Feb 12, 16:11
