Liver transplant exploratory laparascopy: What is recovery time like?

That surgery was np for me. Went home the same day. Fully recovered about a week. Now the liver transplant was another story but well worth it. Live in CO. Mayo wanted my wife and I to move to AZ while waiting for a liver. Said it could be around 6 months (it was much less) . We had to much going on here and declined but committed to getting to AZ from CO within 24 hrs when they found a liver for me . And they found one, wife and I caught the first red eye out of DIA to Scottsdale and it all worked out great. Time in AZ for the actual transplant and recovery was a little over 2 months. Could not leave till they released me. But again well worth it. Hopefully you guys make the list ! Best of luck !!!

@craigcraig Hey neighbor! We’re from Cheyenne, WY— currently staying in Georgia to be close to good medical care and grandbabies, but our hearts are always in the West. How long did you wait for a liver, once you were on the list? My hubby was just added a few days ago- woot woot! Wondering how long we will be hanging out and answering every spam call— ha ha. We packed our bags, and are making sure the car always has a full gas tank- we are about 6.5 hours from Jacksonville, which is quite a drive when racing the clock for a liver. We’ve thought seriously about flying there also! Where did you stay while recuperating? Air BnB, hotel, etc.? Trying to get my head around that as well… Thanks!
