Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- In this video I share my kidney transplant recovery story (2019) from week 1, 2 and 3 after my kidney transplant.
I highlight what happened during each week and how I was feeling emotionally and physically.
Week 1 is mainly about the time I spent in hospital and what steps to recovery I was taking.
I also highlight what was the hardest part of my recovery whilst I was in hospital.
Week 2 I talk about how my recovery went when I was sent home from hospital.
I started to feel lots of different things when I was home that I didn't feel when I was in hospital.
Week 3 focuses on a tough week for me when I was sent back to hospital because I was having issues with my new kidney.
Find how my emotions changed throughout the week as I try to deal with the set back.
Hope you enjoy 😊

@@dhasagirl1567 hi thanks for the kind comment, it's been over 2 years now since I've had my transplant and I've been doing great! my recovery was a little rough but there's always light at the end of the tunnel!
You look great. I'm so happy for you. You are Blessed to have a loving brother that was willing to donate. God guides our steps and helps us.

Thank you!!! Couldn't have done it without your support 💜💜💜
Thank you for your all valuable information….it’s helped a lot
Truly amazing mate. This gives me a lot of motivation and strength.
A fellow LN warrior!
Fantastic thank you mate! How are you feeling?
@@TransplantFitness Feeling good, thanks for asking🙂 Punching lupus so that it doesn't knock me down😀
hey bro. very supportive and helpfull vedio.i underwent a kidney transplant 23 april 2019. .
I'm getting my transplant next week (March 2021), the scariest things for me are the potential side effects from anti rejection medications
That's super exciting! ✨
After you've overcome the initial process of your body getting used to the meds you won't even feel the side effects too much. I hope this week and transplant day go OK for you! Sending you lots of good wishes 💜💜💜
I had my transplant in 1997. The side effects are nothing compared to not having a kidney 😉
@@lizandadejager6804 what meds are you on now though. Was the transplant from a living donor? What age were you? Thanks in advance.
Thank nice video
Thanks*
Thank you mate. Glad you like it 😊
Great video again Mark. Like your bro, I had key hold surgery to remove my kidney and they stitched and glued my insertions. However, I’m in week 3 now and my sides still look swollen and it hasn’t really gone down yet. Still sore etc and my lower abdomen is still sore too. Especially to touch. Can you or your bro offer any advice here? Thanks
I am in the 6th day after transplant
Now you're back to your normal life
Hi, I am 35 Years old. I got my transplant 2 months ago. Please give me some advice
Is it prremptive transplant you have?
Hi mate. Just had my kidney transplant last Tuesday so coming to the end of week 1 now. I’m really struggling with keeping up with my urine output, and worried that I’ll end up too dehydrated as I’m peeing a hell of a lot. Any tips on keeping up with the urine output? Or is it just a case of drinking loads of water
Hey bud! I suffered from the same thing after my transplant. I would pee 6-7 times a day and it would keep me up at night. I told my doctor and I was given a tablet called Fludrocortisone which helps the body retain water better. I take 1 every 2 days. It worked perfectly for me!
@@TransplantFitness sorry mate, but fludrocortisone just makes you retain more SALT. Did you notice puffiness or swelling in the feet?
What wouldve been a better idea was to always drink atleast SALT with your water. SALT is never your enemy and its less of an enemy in this situation. Also, 5 litres a day of water is too much for someone with regular kidney function, its not magically not too much for someone without proper kidney function.
I got the news three months ago that I have to start dialysis and get a kidney transplant so I feel like crap
I hope you stay strong and positive minded. never think like a victim and get yourself on the waiting list
What stage kidney function do you have because stages 3 and perhaps 4 are reversible if you know how.
I just got a kidney transplant couple days ago and I want to shower so bad but I’ll lowkey kinda scared and when I walk I can’t walk straight cause of the pain
Aww I know that feeling as well! I had to sit down in the bath and have my wife shower me for at least a month after. I don't think I showered by myself until I had my staples removed 6-8 weeks after transplant. You'll start to feel stronger my friend I promise!
@@TransplantFitness when you get the stitches out is it easier to walk?

What is reason of your kidney damage
Hey bro, how much water u take per day
At the moment I'm drinking around 4L a day. That's abit more than recommend but you should try and have a minium of 2L per day
Hi bro how much water were u drinking on dialysis?
It depends on you and your water weight snd dry weight .
I was never on dialysis bud.
Hi u got kidney transplant this week my only right leg is swelling plz advice something
I got
You should lay down and raise your leg up on a few pillow. It seems like you might have an issue with your blood flow circulation. I definitely recommend you tell your doctor.
Mark have you had neutropenia yet? Cuz that will happen in the 1st year
No I haven't had that. Not heard of it either. Will do some research. What's it used for?
@@TransplantFitness its not a tablet. Its when your neutrophills go down below average. You should do some research on it.
Will do. Thanks 😊
Hyperhydrated and Dehydrated have the symptoms. It is impossible to know which one you had.
My thoughts on nephrologists suggesting 5, 3 etc of fluid a day is ridiculouse, it truly is. Everyone on this planet should know if youre forcing yourself to drink that much fluid, it should have electrolytes in it, not just be water or tea or coffee because youre going to just lose too many electrolytes. Youre already suffered electrolyte depletion because of the surgery and now they want you to pee out what you have left? Truly outstanding misunderstanding of human physiology.
Believe me when I say, SALT is your friend NOT GLUCOSE.
Just think about it and dont blame yourself. Neprhologists have a procedure to adhere to, it does not mean this is right. It just means, thats what theyve been taught.
This is what actually happened, you drank entirely enough but you naturally peed it out because that was excessive amounts for the body to cope with. And with excessive peeing goes electrolytes. Its the amount you were drinking.
Do people realise drinking too much water, like when youre not thirsty, results in stress on the kidney? And thus your kidney creatinine levels went up and you needed electrolytes. Get the picture?
Masturbation can cause kidney damage
