Acute renal failure is typical in patients with renal cortical necrosis, with associated complications (eg, hyperkalemia, fluid overload). Chronic renal failure, occurring in 30-50% of patients, requires dialysis and transplantation.
The average hospital stay is 1 to 3 nights which varies depending on type of surgery and your overall condition. Duodenal switch surgery: 2 to 3 days; Gastric bypass surgery: 2 to 3 days; Gastric sleeve surgery: 2 to 3 days; Mini gastric bypass: 2 to 3 days; Gastric banding surgery (LAP-BANDÂ®): 1 day or less; Gastric Balloon: Same-day (outpatient)
Gastric sleeve surgery takes about one to two hours and the hospital stay is generally 3-5 days. This may vary from patient to patient. You may lose up to 3-5 pounds per week after gastric sleeve surgery. This, of course, depends on how well you follow the diet and exercise program after surgery.
