    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. ❤

    I had my transplant in May 2021 after 10 years of PD. I got the call at 16:00, "would you be interested in a kidney"? They told me no eating or drinking and I would get the call to come in. 23:00, the call came in and off I went. Surgery was at 06:00 and went for close to 4 hours. My surgery had some complications but once that was settled and I got home and the kidney woke up, I peed 3L a day for 11 days. I also lost 17 kilo. Most of that was water that PD didn't pull out and some of it was due to the horrible hospital food. The weirdest thing in hospital was the phlebotomists that showed up at 04:00 to take the blood draw for the docs that do their rounds. I think they get the weird ones to pull that shift or at least with a strange sense of humor. That helped a lot.

    Wow that’s amazing I have kind of the same story. My sister wanted to give me her kidney but I rejected her because she had five kids. I was looking out for her and she was trying to cover me. I didn’t want her to later on be in dialysis because they also take a risk. But later someone ended up taking her life away. You are so blessed to have a brother like that. Who gives just for you to be happy. 😢

      So sorry,
      It's a play of fate.
      Nowadays almost nothing can happen to the donor(we believe).
      Sorry to say 'you did mistake'.
      Don't worry, this is what others telling me always.
      But i always worrying.

    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.

    Hi sister firstly how are you 😊 how is your health.recently i watched so many videos of your and also i inspired by you.
    I got my kidney transplant in 26,nov,2021. I had two dialysis because my creatinine was 7,8 before transplant.I got symptoms since childhood not hungry, vomiting, increasing heartrate blood pressure problem and so on. Since childhood, i almost felt like i didn't grow up as much like my brother cousins and nephews. After 2 years, i feel healthy and i do exercise, running as well . I get some problem if i dont look up such as weight gain , hair fall and among others. However, hair fall is the biggest problem that i have because just after transplant, i got to see hair damage and also my scalp is being seen. Now,my medicine's are tacrolimus 1,1.5. oh i forgot to tell im only 18 years old but i just trying to be physically and mentally healthy.my mother was a donor.lastly, i just want to say thank god for everything and also the important thing is that in life,what our parents brother, sister do for us nobody can do. Thank you 🙏
