@007hafid, I can understand your interest about your future health after a living liver donation. You are absolutely correct to seek answers because the decision to become a living donor requires time and consideration. Before making a decision you need to know what it involves.

Most living liver donors are related to the recipient, During the living liver donor surgery the surgeon removes part of your liver and places it into the recipient after their liver is removed. It ususlly takes several weeks to several months for the liver to recover and return to normal size. During that time you will be limited on your physical activities.There are risks and you will need to be screened and tested to see if you can be a donor.

Do you have a loved one or a relative who needs a liver transplant? Does he/she qualify for a living donor?
