how long did you wait for your liver? My mother needs one. She is in stage for liver disease with hep c and she is on the list.

[Mindraker1]

Good luck to you all... wow, that's impressive.

I had my liver transplant in Aug. of 2010, 10 months ago. There were complications with my surgery and was in the hospital for a month and had a second surgery after 20 days. It was 6 hrs (same as transplant) and was told as complicated as first surgery. I am doing well and my transplant coordinator says that it should last about 20 + years, I'm 51 so that's plenty.

I had one when i was 13 im 29

I'm 24, I had a liver transplant on April 24th, 2004 at UCSF medical center. Had the same 24 hour timeline and i was blessed to find a donor liver just in time. I have no clue what they used to sew all the muscle and connective tissues in the abdominal area but i left with staple. I wear my scar with pride. As we all should.

[dastardlynova]

i love my stitches and i love my bod.... \m/ .... i was the donor... everyone thought that i was crazy asking everyone to click my pics post ops...the first time i was awake after the ops in icu, my first words were, "Click a pic of mine, NOW"..... hahahaha...to hell and back...

[bobish101]

@ronwell438 man im sorry if this is really true. im a teenager at the moment and my mother is in critical condition with "end stage liver cancer" as they like to call it and im losing hope.

[thirdlife911]

Your scar looks just like mine same spots and all. thats kool hope your healthy.

[estelle715]

My 29 yr. old son died while awaiting a liver transplant in 06'. He was in the navy and it was caught w/a CBC.Come to find out he had autoimmune hepatitis. He lived for 6 yrs.,but, was sick most of it. He already had end-stage when he was diagnosed. He had just turned 23, He was home on leave a month prior and had no symptoms. I can't understand it. We we were in Pittsburgh awaiting a transplant when I was called in the  a.m. and told he would die. I was alone w/him 6 hrs. until the end.Pain!

[rosesxkill]

I had a liver transplant in dallas and the docters were talking about how the scar that liver transplants get on their stomach is like the mercedes symbol but instead of me having stitches i had a this type of vac thing that was connected to me to a machine i got my liver in 5 hours and i only had 24 hours to live i was in a comma and dident even know what was going on if any of you need inspiration from this surgery turn to your family -god bless

[mrarches]

can anyone tell me,what is the life expectancy of a liver transplant patient,is it a few yrs,normal or?

[becomingbethany]

Are you referring to a patient who has been given a liver? If that's the case, depending on the patient, doctors, medications... You can go on living years after a transplant.

If you're talking about a patient who has yet to get on the list, or is on the list... I have no idea what the ratio is, in regard to time. I just know that there are lots of hoops to jump through to get on it.

[mrarches]

i was refering to a person who has been given a transplant,do they have a "normal"life expectancy or is it shortened by a lot of yrs,a few yrs or?

[Kasa2505]

I have had mine since april of 85

[tranvozcaya]

I wihs u are better now...

well... to have a liver tranplat here in spain you have to wait so loguer that a lots of people dies before to get one.... but I belive you... I do not try doctors... no one on the earth...

[bobish101]

@rosesxkill

[mschopsticks1]

[bonameshooligans]

@rosesxkill Hi, Meanwhile one year has passed after your liver transplantation. Are you feeling completely healthy, you can eat what you want and the medication you take against repelling the new liver make problem for you?

[MH2448MH]

I had a liver Transplant Jul 08 my stiches looked almost the same and just like the other comment I also had a hole in the lower part of my chest

[IIIIIlIIIIIlIIIIlIlI]

I had a liver transplant in Dec 08 and it went well. I had the same kind of scarring. It looks nasty but didn't hurt at all. My lower scar healed within a week but my vertical scar (just below the chest) took a long time to heal up normally and it had holes in it for about 2 months. But thankfully it's all healed up very well now :o)

[joyuen]

may i know where you have your transplant? my fiancee may need a liver transplant in florida. how long you have been on the transplant list? hope you feel better and better everyday. all the best.

[IronDr4gon]

Does that stitche stays forever or would it return to its original state when threads are removed?

[lovemybeau]

What caused his liver to need replacing?

Hope all is well.

Thanks

[helentravers32]
