There shouldn't even be any lost bitcoin transactions.
That can only be true if there are not conflicting transactions in the two chains. That might be the lucky outcome, but it's certainly not guaranteed to be the case.
Any transactions that were confirmed on the faulty chain will have to be re-confirmed in the correct chain. How long that will take would depend on just how many transactions need to be processed, and how big their payload is. Until that is completed, the state of the bitcoins involved in those transactions is ambiguous.
