Hey, I'm so happy it all went well! Don't worry, your body will soon get used to the new liver and to the immunosuppressants and you'll feel much better. One of my best friends had a liver transplant when he was a child (his scar is much bigger than yours, looks like a big cross all over his chest/belly) but it's very likely that he will need a new one in a few years. If we match, I would like to donate part of my liver to him. I've heard it's not only a matter of blood group but there are also many other factors that affect compatibility, is that so? Also, what are the consequences for the donor? Do they eventually recover fully?
