Too many to count

A year and a half ago I went to the ER with Kidney stone like pain and found out that not only did I have stones but I was also pregnant. I have had stents in both kidneys, nephrostomy tubes in both kidneys, twice on one side. I have had five surgeries in the last year and four months. I have changed my diet, increased my fluid intake, taken medications, lost almost thirty pounds, only to find out today that I have more stones formed in both kidneys. My doctor is sending me elsewhere because he does not know what more he can do for me. I am open to new ideas.
