This is a long way off for me, but I'd like to bring it into consideration since it's been on my mind since October.
In an ideal world, I'd like to go through with having meta done, with the option of voiding while standing. Just something more natural in my head, I guess.
However, at that time in mid-October, I had a kidney stone that was lodged in one of my ureters. I've now been told that my future risk for them has increased, and I'm 'too young' to be getting kidney stones.
So this is what makes me wary of 'uretheral lengthening', due to the assumption of passing a smaller kidney stone through a 'weakened pipe' causing more damage than it would maybe for someone who's never had stones of some kind.
That and sitting down to pee doesn't bother me too much, although it would have been nice to be able to do it while standing without the use of a SheWee or something. So I can give it up for the sake of my health/ease of passing any smaller stone, it'd just be a, uh... added luxury.
Has anyone else had that experience?
Or maybe you can help alleviate my fears about things going wrong.
