Hi, @rachann. I want to extend my Welcome and to add my Congratulations on your new liver transplant. My transplant was 16 years ago, and I can still feel the thrill that I felt when waking from my surgery and hearing my son say in a loud excited voice, "Mom! You're not yellow anymore!" I had been seriously jaundiced, so this is my first realization that I was not dreaming! I will admit that it was an adjustment for me to get used to gradually becoming healthy again as I healed and regained my strength.

How are you feeling now that you had the surgery? Is thre anything that you wish that you had known before your transplant that might have better prepared you? Or that might even be helpful to someone else who is approaching their own liver transplant surgery/recovery?
