Hi Brianna I’m a 57-year-old male I was diagnosed back in 2010 up in Boston Massachusetts and have been on the waiting list since then I was told I should try the mayo clinic in Jacksonville so I am down here for the month I’m glad that your surgery went well at your age of 60 they told me that the cut off age was 55 so knowing that you were 60 and had it done successfully I am glad to see the end results thank you for sharing your story with me it’s just nerve-racking to be waiting and waiting and waiting and not find a donor I was doing the deceased donor and also a live donor some of my family and friends couldn’t do it because of their BMI and because some of them had too much fatty around their liver so they went on special diets to get approved on the list and then they were denied because they incurred too much scar tissue So that took them off the list automatically they can no longer be a donor for a liver I just want to put this behind me so I can go on with my life I have been through a lot and still am going through a lot I haven’t had any major issues nor has my skin or eyes turned joined us I pray every day that this gets resolved again thank you for sharing your story and God bless

@manuelhsilva, I think that you meant this reply for me, @rosemarya. That's ok, it can get confusing.
You mentioned Boston and Mayo JAX, are you double listed?
How long have you been on the transplant list? You say no major issues, that is good to hear.
What questions do you have about transplant? I will try to help you.
