Non Directed Living Donors

I was a non directed donor at Mayo in 2022. I did my full 3 days of testing in May; was approved, on the register, and had a match in July. I chose the 3 week scheduling window of surgery for October to accommodate my work schedule. Donation completed early October. I think a lot of the process/timing is donor driven...meaning how quickly you complete the steps are a you decision.

@judithw any post-op tips? I’ve heard yes on abdominal binders and not necessary from others? How much water are you drinking daily on average? Anything else that helped speed your recovery?
Thanks!
