My surgery date is Monday. The doctor says it'll be a day surgery. I'm surprised, as what I have read online, it usually involves at least an overnight stay.

Good luck with your surgery.

I have been diagnosed with a staghorn calculi stone which is over 3 centimeters in diameter, larger than a golf ball. My surgery will take place in about 4 weeks. I am waiting for the surgery scheduler to call me. I was hoping to find someone that has gone through this surgery, and also to see if anyone had a second surgery, after being re-xrayed while still inpatient. I hope they can remove all and a second surgery is not needed. I'm on Septra for 4 weeks until surgery due to UTIs recurring. According to my surgeon, the size this is, it could have began growing a year ago. I'm hoping to find out after the surgery how to prevent this type of stone, as it has nothing to do with diet I am told. Dr. said I will be in overnight, and if second surgery is not needed, two days at the most, if so, 4-5 days.
