Why would the kidneys continue to produce excessive kidney stones despite surgery to remove them?
Because kidney stones are caused by (not only) soda. If you continue to drink it you will keep getting them. (Just removing them does not mean they can't come back.) Soda by itself is not the lone cause for Kidney Stones in most people. You should consult your doctor. Kidney Stones can be made of more than one type of material. For example, if your stone is made of calcium oxylate, the doctor will tell you to reduce or avoid foods or drinks high in oxylates. Sodas are usually not a problem for people in this group. But strawberries, blackberrys, milk chocolate, oats (as in oatmeal and cherrios), black tea are. Once you know what your stones are made of, then you'll be able to pursue your options.
