In reply to @kim1965 "@jamesduaiswamy My wife is in need of a liver transplant more than likely this coming summer...." + (show)
I'm 68 years old and had a living donor liver transplant 2 years and 4 months ago at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. My daughter donated 64.2% of her liver to me and it was not a bad experience for us. We were out of the hospital in 1 week and were released in 3 weeks. I had no other medical problems. Today I am as healthy as anyone I know and live my life like I was never sick. I was never afraid of death but truly enjoy my chance to continue living, no reason to get a transplant and stop enjoying your life.
The advantage of a living donor is the timing of the transplant, you can schedule the procedure.
