I would like to hear from anyone who has had a lung transplant

Thanks for that! I'm wondering if you had to stay close to Mayo weeks before the surgery. I live about 4 hours away from Rochester. Would I have to be closer than that if they call me for the surgery?

For the hospital that I went through I couldn't be more than 2 hours away from the hospital at any time. It could be different for Mayo or other hospitals. After the transplant for the first 2 weeks I was at the hospital 4 times a week and that slowly petered off to now I finally don't have my next appointment for 3 months. You are also not allowed to drive for the first 2 months after.
