Actually, salt has little/nothing to do with it since it easily dissolves. The vast majority of stones are Calcium Oxalate (oxaltes are found primarily in green leafy vegetables).
I had a stone while deployed overseas that required surgical removal (not fun.) After returning to the states, I did a CT scan and consult with a USAF Urologist and was given a waiver by the AF to go back on flying status. I did my FAA 1st Class a few months later. I gave copies of all the tests and reports to the AME and he sent it in and the FAA had no problem with it. I'm currently swimming in the SWA pool.
Keep drinking that water!! Statistically, 50% of men who develop a kidney stone will develop a second at a later time.
