yes i am 13 and so far i had 6 stones. I had them since i was 6 years old. And since then i had 4 surgerys. mosty because they were to big. If they are to big mostly any size over 3mm they blow it up using sound waves. The sound waves blow it up. The doctors put the person in a big bath tub. (You are asleep.) Then it just blows up. If the stones are 9mm+ it blows it smaller pices. Smaller the 9mm most of the time the stone blows up in very very small pices. Some times they go a way altogether. It all depends.
