Depends on the type of surgery.
If the stone is gone, usually recovery is usually fast. However, if the stone had blocked the drainage of the kidney for a long time (several weeks), it may have deformed the kidney such that recovery of that kidney may not be complete after the stone is removed.
From 3-6 months. Drink about 1-1.5 liter of Plum Juice daily. Best diet is the DASH diet. Consult Endocrinology.
