Hi. I just joined. I am 33 years post cadaver liver transplant. Emergency transplant overnight when I was 27. I have issues but one yr of recuperation gave me chance to marry, travel , and have a successful career. I am now 60 and have NASH, taking tacrolimus. Is there anyone decade's post transplant?

My wife is in need of a liver transplant more than likely this coming summer. We have had our consult and done all the tests. She has one more PRRT treatment for NET, then we wait 90 days, for the radioactive material to clear her body, and she will be on list. My question or concern is our transplant team doesn’t do live transplants, only donated livers. The more I research it appears the live donor livers have less issues after transplant. I see your was a live liver donation, was the recovery any easier than what was told during the consult? Any and all info you can share is most appreciated.🙏
Did your insurance cover it? Part of it? How did that process happen? Thanks for your thought!
