id be showing that to the dr , first thing in the morning. could be lots of things but most likely not intestine. if it was id be sueing the surgeon for not properly clearing the surgery site. it may...
depends on what the stones are made of really. talk with you stone dr and see if any have been lab tested. if not you may have to 'catch ' the next one and have it tested. they have tools for that if...
