I’m 1 month and a half post transplant. I also was on PD dialysis for almost a year and I feel great now! Only thing is the symptoms of the medication like irritation in bowel movements, great appetite, and acne.

How old were you?

Well Wendy congratulations on receiving life. You inspired me as I watched your video because I will be receiving my new kidneys week from now on Halloween 10/31/2024. I am very excited what will be the difference in my life. You aren’t kidding about the emotional and physical rollercoaster you go through with kidney failure.

I had also undergone through kidney transplantation 2 minths ago .

PD dialysis is the worse.

I ve been following your videos…you are amazing I ‘ve learnt so much from you.. I have ESRD on dialysis and I can’t wait 🙌🙌

do you have to take imune supressuion medication

Hey how are you doing?

Thank you for this! Im doing my pre work up. Met my surgeon yesterday, and i had so many different emotions. Scared, happy and guilty cause my sister is my donor. But she said she is not scared because she knows what she is doing is to save me. ❤

Hello. You look gorgeous!!! I am 2+ transplant and literally my hair was thick to my armpit and now recently in a month my edges were THIN and hair has length but looks thin and I have never experienced this in my life! My nails were becoming brittle too so they did an iron test and my iron is perfect but my Vitamin D test showed my levels were at 14L which its suppose to be 20 so I'm deficient right now. They are giving me a supplement of 50,000 weekly so we will see. I'm not getting much fall out, but the thinness has me wearing clip ins to bulk volume! Thank you for sharing!

I would not take Remdesiver. Bad news! You’re lucky you’re ok. I pray you stay that way. Love and light to you and your family!💖😁🙏‼️

Thank you for sharing! Very helpful.

Kidney problems gives every man lessons who is suffering from ckd

Do you have to take blood pressure pills? And if you do which ones if you don’t mind me asking? I’m gonna be getting one soon and I’m trying to see other people’s experience to calm my anxious questions and thoughts lol

In hospital right now from transplant and this video helped me see the process better. Thank you for sharing it

you know ten yrs ago a doctor would go over your test results with you in his office , that dont happen anymore . you need to have a doctors degree to under stand wat your livewell results give you just sayin

It’s pretty easy to me. Just keep it extra clean.

Thank you! Such a helpful video x

Hello dear

Hi there ! I am 10 months post kidney transplant and for several months i was literally almost bald. I was initially on Tacrolimus to begin with and was changed to Envarsus due to tremors. I lost TONS of hair at that point. I went back on the regular Tacrolimus twice a day and my hair stared coming back like crazy. Mine is in the ugly duckling phase where it is very thin on the end as well. Ive got that crazy regrowth as well. Some of it is the trauma of surgery and some is the medication. I am also on 10,000 Biotin everyday, and using Biotin oil on my scalp. I feel you warrior ❤💪🏼

Wendy copeland do you still mesure your A1c every 3 months ?

Thank you for sharing. I’m 8 weeks out from my transplant surgery and your videos are inspirational. Stay strong and bless you❤️

Hii I am also a kidney transplant recipient kindly connect with me I need your assistance.

Thank you so much for sharing. Iam not yet on dialysis. I am at 11% and awaiting My transplant date. My Sister will be donating her Kidney. However she had to have a hysterectomy a few mths ago. So waiting for her to settle down before we can proceed. Your testimonial is very reassuring. Thank you again from the UK 😊

Yes. My last A1c was 6.4 too but it could have been wrong. I may already have it due to unexplained weight loss. 20 pounds.

I can totally relate to what you went thru. I had mine removed post Transplant. It's been over 3yrs for me. I still have pain at the site but a small price to pay. I'm so happy for you....Thanks for sharing.

It's more like an 11/10 for me

Shes lieing Remdesivir is killing thousands of people and is band all over the World.

Congratulations! 🌹🌺 Great Job! Stay healthy walk do your exercises, I too had a kidney transplant back in😮 2018. I feel great going outdoor activities camping fishing basketball etc.. so happy I don't go dialysis I lost over 200 pds Weighing at 185 pds. from 435 pds plus. Soo so happy grateful blessed Thank U Lord! 🤡🙈✊✌️

This video is very helpful. I am hoping to my kidney transplant this year at UCSF.

Thanks for the video Wendy! My dad will start PD pretty soon and it’s so good to see how you organized your space. Do you still have the purchase links of the two organizers you used? Thanks in advance!

Does the donor also have to take all those medications?

Good for you nice story We just found out that my husband is going to do dialysis soon because his kidneys are working 10% and he’s going to be on a big waiting list for a kidney transplant from a donor If we can find one 😥

Do still drink water while on PD

Madam after transplant how long they live

Shall I use derma roller or minoxidil, Is it safe to use ?

Hi Wendy thank you for all your videos I have a question where can I buy that stainless steel table in ur room? Thx

Thank you for the video I’m getting a kidney in 5 days 3-12-24. Im excited and nervous

Your journey has been an inspiration! Bravo!

New subs here ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this video. I was stable at 41p. cent function for years - told my kidney would outlive me. Over the past year, especially, my function has plummeted. I dropped to 31 after having Covid, and now I’m at 24%. It’s terrifying! You mentioned stress as a likely contributing factor for you, and I can say, that the past year has been one of the saddest and most stressful for me. My doctor can’t explain the sudden decrease, but stress might be the answer. Thank you for this video, Wendy! Do you have any advice or tips for me, as I brace for what is to come ? I hope you continue to be well!!
