Thank you so much for this very comforting information @tjdog ❤
Meeting you has made me very happy and very hopeful that I may get 20 years from my new kidney!! I just turned 61, so 25 years would super wonderful.
Question- Did you have a hemodialysis fistula in your arm before your transplant? My fistula is growing too large and I am planning on having surgery to shut it down. Do you have any experience or know anyone that had that surgery?

I got a fistula about 6 months before my 2nd transplant. It definitely has gotten larger. It only bothers me at night. I don’t want to hear my heart beat when I’m trying to fall asleep, but I have no plans to shut it down. That’s a decision for you to make in consultation with your doctor.
