@brianna yes that was very quick. I went home after just 4 days. I was the poster child for liver transplant patients at Mayo Jacksonville :). What I did not expect during my recovery was being numb in my abdomen where my new liver is. I will be numb there for the rest of my life.

I expected the same after my June 2019 Liver and Kidney transplant. After 6 months my feeling started to return and now after 9 months, it's over 80% back .I'm a 69 year old male - so your healing process may be much faster. My Liver has never had any problems - my kidney has minor problems. I lost 2 years fighting through this and it was worth the journey.

One advantage of the numbness is that my daily insulin shots can be administered pain free
