Hi @jgiovann, welcome to Connect.
You'll notice that I moved your message about looking for experiences from kidney donors to this existing discussion. Click VIEW & REPLY to read through this very information thread.
Congratulations on getting through the grueling testing and evaluation process and being clear to be a donor. I will be very interested to hear about your experience with the Paired Donor Exchange System. With you surgery coming up in a few weeks, I'm sure you have many questions. Ask away. What are you most nervous about?

Thank you! I am most nervous about there being complications for me or my mother or my Mom's body rejecting the new kidney. I am also very worried being intubated, I have never had surgery with general anesthesia before. I am also worried about post-op pain control...
