@nrbecerril I had a liver transplant on Oct 29, 2021. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune and inflammatory condition, in my late 20’s, twenty or so years before my liver disease and transplant (at age 53). It is thought that my ulcerative colitis led to my liver disease. It seems to have complicated my recovery though my recovery is so far smoother than I thought it’d be. Sometimes I feel that my medications and overall inflammation from my colitis impacts my recovery. I get stomach aches and can feel inflamed in a general way, I think that my underlying autoimmune condition is adjusting to major surgery. In general I think our bodies take 1-5 years to reconcile with such profound surgery. For me, hydrating and walking everyday are the best balm.
