Question : My daughter in law 46 diabetic on insulin, kidney disease and now needs bypass surgery...she does not always take her insulin so her diabetes is not under control....what is the likely she would make it out of surgery...she's 5' 7" 123 lbs and sh smokes

Daughter in law just told me she is out of the hospital... she has kidney stones...not disease ( she's slow and gets confused my son is also slow) nth doctor said she needs to contact the doctor who was goung to operate to get the stones out ...once this completed then in six weeks they would do the bypass...does this sound right?

Brief Answer:
Kidney stones unrelated

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. First and foremost, she needs to take insulin regularly there is no alternative for the same. By the time the problems become noticeable the damage would already be significant. The kidney sand their removal seem fine but to comment on the bypass I would need further details like the blood creatinine levels.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
