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.

Dealing With A Kidney Stone?
Kidney stones are painful and affect men and women of all ages. There are things you can do to get rid of kidney stones, and tips on how to tell if you have a kidney stone. The first thing you will notice if you have kidney stones is the pain! The pain is excruciating, and is located in either the right or left side of the abdomen, or in the lower back. As the stone moves through the day, the pain will likely move with it. This is because the stone is being carried by the kidneys through the urinary tract. The stone only has one way to get out of the body and that is through the urethra when you urinate. If the stones are large and cannot be passed, they will need to be broken up by a procedure known as lithotripsy. The stone will be crushed into smaller stones that can be passed when you urinate. Another sign of kidney stones is nausea and sometimes vomiting. The pain from the stones is so intense that it makes people who have them sick. The nausea will usually go away when the pain is relieved. Pain relief can come in the form of an IV medication, or through a pill that is taken. Larger stones will cause more pain, and people will need more medication to be relieved of the pain. Blood in the urine is another sign of kidney stones. It is also a sign of a kidney or urinary tract infection, so if you see blood in the urine, you need to go to the doctor. Women who are pregnant need to seek medical attention if they see blood more so than men. Treatment of kidney stones sometimes means you will just have to be patient and let them pass on their own. This can be painful, but is often the best way to get rid of them. Drinking plenty of water through the day will help to flush out the system. Cranberry juice is also good for getting rid of the bacteria that is in the kidneys and urinary system. If necessary, the doctor may order some type of surgery to remove the stones if there are numerous ones in the body.
