How has your recovery from your organ transplant been?

Posted by peter55 @peter55, 1 day ago

How are feeling one year or longer from organ transplant? I feel fantastic since my transplant back on March 26th of this year. I will tell you this its been at times like a runaway train. I would like hear feed back from other transplant patients.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

Hi, @peter55 and Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Congratulations on your 'almost' one year liver transplant!!
Do you know that this is a perfect time for you to post this exciting topic? We are in the midst of the Holiday Celebrations and preparing to begin a New Year - and - It is a wonderful time for each of us (recipients, loved ones, donors, donor families...) to reflect on our 1st year transplant experiences.

Peter, my transplant surgery was 15 years ago. I will be happy to share later, but how about you and/or some newer recipients getting us started. Here are some ideas - What organ did you receive? Where did you receive it? What are some memorable experiences or a favorite experience that you wouid like to share? What are you able to do now, that you couldn't do prior to the transplant? What do you wish you would have known before your transplant that might be helpful to someone who is beginning their own transplant journey?
Who wants to0 go first?
