Connect is a safe place where members can learn together and support each other on our journeys.
You are absolutely correct - you can follow and participate in any of the discussions.

Laura, I had my liver and kidney transplant in 2009. I became a member because there were no in-person groups where I could meet and interact with other transplant patients. I have found my experience on Connect to be supportive, informational, and inspirational.

Laura, What brings you to Connect? Is it that you are experiencing gas issues since transplant?
