Hi
I'll be going for surgery on Monday to remove my PKD kidneys post transplant. One year and 5 months.
Has anyone had this surgery after a transplant and how did it affect your kidney function?
Also, were you relieved not having the pressure from the PKD kidneys anymore? Did you have any complications?
I'm very anxious about this surgery. My tells my any surgery its risky and everyone handles it differently.
I would like to hear from any of you in the same situation.
Thank you
Bobinnevada

Hi @bobinnevada I see that @jolinda had her PKD nephrectomy at the same time as her kidney transplant. Let's see if she is able to check in here before your surgery on Monday! What a Valentine's Day gift to yourself, right?

Looking forward to hearing from you and your experience after the surgery. Where will you have the surgery done? Sending you a hug of support!
Ginger
