That's awesome! You and I may have crossed paths at Mayo! I went to the liver transplant center from 2006 to 2010, but my insurance provider then told me I would need to go to a transplant center closer to where I live, which was University of Colorado. My surgeon at Mayo did training at University, so she provided some supportive suggestions, and I found lots of doctors knew her (still do!). She is loved and respected greatly by all of them, including my doctor now. University is great, but I still go to Mayo for advice as its readily available and accurate. I went back to see my surgeon at Mayo and some of my nurses on my 10th anniversary and they made me promise to come back to see them. I call Mayo the Dome of Miracles, and the people who work there are miracle workers!! You and I ( among many others) are so blessed to say they saved our lives! Be well!

@dakotabonnie, Wouldn't be neat if we could turn back the clock to see if we did cross paths? I was a jaundiced patient in a wheelchair before my transplant. My husband and I were at the Gift of Life House from March - mid May 2009.

I love Mayo Clinic and am so appreciative for the miracle of a liver and kidney transplant. Was Dr Heimbach, by any chance your surgeon?
