@azkellyw, I'm sending a virtual hug to you!
You are absolutely justified in searching for success stories specific to liver transplant patients. They are actually sprinkled throughout all of the transplant discussions becaus we all shae so many pre/post transplant concerns. So none of us is ever alone.
Now as for success stories with liver transplant - I am approaching 16 years since my liver and kidney transplant in 2009 at Mayo in Rochester. Does that qualify as a success story? I can say that my journey was/is worth it. My transplant team and my local PCP are always available and ready to provide any extra care that might be needed. I am still being monitored by my transplant team even though I am nearly 800 miles away.

Here are some success stories. I hope they life you up:

@azkellyw, As you can see from these success photos and stories, each of us has a unique life story. I can certainly understand your current apprehension because I had the same concern. I did, however, say that to my transplant surgeon once, and she was able to put "my" situation into perspective for me.
Have you ever discussed your apprehension with your surgeon or team?
