I have never met one person with a liver transplant it’s actually pretty rare to receive one, after 2 1/2 years
I just started going to a gym paid for by my insurance I’m 65 and it was part of one extra policies, I recommend everyone going to one whether in a pool , lifting light weights, leg presses just anything to keep you getting stronger mentally a game changer I see people in wheelchairs so no excuses

Meet me. I am 38 years post transplant. They had only been doing successful transplants for 2 years. I can only imagine how much that surgery has improved. It can be a bumpy ride but do worth it. Blessings on your journey.

My husband has incorporated daily exercise into his post-transplant routine. Weightlifting, as well as cardio, is part of his normal care. I can say that this has appeared to make a huge difference for him. As you stated, the mental health aspect cannot be overstated. He is strong and feeling great! We celebrated his 2-year kidneyversary on February 23.
