Thank you so much 😊 glad you are doing good and everything worked out .. I was also wondering when did you go back to work ? I really have no idea how long realistically I’ll be off ? I work a physical job and have to be able to lift 60 lbs
So just wondering if anyone can say like 4 or 6 months ? Thanks again for the reply ❤️

@threerrr3 congratulations on your upcoming transplant! When my husband's had his liver transplant last July he was on lifting restrictions for 4 months. He is still careful now with lifting if he is turning with the weight.
Best of luck and blessings,

I had my transplant mid April and did not get back into my job which is also physically demanding until October. 5 1/2 months. One of the worst things you can do is go back early and at full throttle. I ran into several people in the waiting areas of Mayo that felt great and went back to a full schedule and paid the price. Keep in mind that every individuals circumstances are different. Good luck
