Thats awesome 💞💕how do you feel on a day to day....someone very close to me had a double lung transplant 1 yr ago...but he doesn't like to talk about it.

Where you get the lungs bro is it from living or dead? If living can we give half lungs..

My mom is currently getting a lung transplant. Now we’re just hoping and praying her body accepts it and everything goes smoothly. Can’t lose my mom yet. She’s only 50.
Aimee how is ur mom now did she received lungs.
@@ishfaqkhan3966 she is still recovering but at home. Needs help with certain things because she ended up having 3 strokes after the surgery. But she is in a much better condition!
@@hotbabycakes24 I hope she's fine now. God bless your mom.

I hope she is fine but ONLY 50?
Its 11 at night and i breath fine wtf am i doing
Merlin 10777 10:45pm for me. But same. I got on the weird side of TH-cam.
Well good for you. Maybe you were brought here to learn compassion toward those who don't breathe fine. You seem to be passing up this opportunity for empathy, though

My father had a lung transplant back in the 90's. Got 3 more years of him around. It's amazing how it's done. And to those who transplants done. Wish you good health for the rest of your lives.
how he is now?
is he alive?
@@mdomarpatwary5548 I don't think you understand what it meant when the commenter said "Got 3 more years of him around"...
I am a smoker and this appeared in my reccomended vids..is this a sign to stop?
Ya stop as early as possible
Yes
Same here smoker recommended like they know all about is
W o r l d yes
Lung transplants should not be given to those who damaged their lungs from smoking. They should be saved for those who have pre-existing conditions such as cystic fibrosis. Sorry not sorry, they're more deserving. Edit : I'm not including second hand smoke, as you're less likely to control that environment
God please don’t let me go through this. Amen
God is not reading comments
@@SteampunkKitten was your comment really necessary tho?
@@laiya3606 Clearly because all people want is likes and act like they believe in god by commenting prayers . Like bruh if you want to pray then don’t do it in the comments .
@@PhantomViper49 I'm 14 years old if you read bible then and if you attended some youth classes then you will know than we should use social media to tell everyone about Lord God Jesus and I'm from India.
Let's pray together not only for you and I everyone because my grandmother passed away after her eye surgery after some few months in 2017 my church is is taking a pray meeting on zoom for every corona patients and others for every problem everyday I'm 14 years old and from India and you.
This is why I am an organ donor. I can help someone.
Nice dude
I need a transplant i am only 45 and am in desperate need
Thank you ❤
Dani khan you expect the dude to give your brother his lungs and die?? smh
Its poosible to only donate one lung. U can survive with one lung. Smh
To Everyone: I understand not all of you searched for this video, but take this as an opportunity to learn some compassion for those who cannot breathe or do everyday things we take for granted. Please refrain from making any comments that may discourage a potential lung recipient. This procedure is physically, mentally and financially stressful, and to many this is the only flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.
@@AdirondackHomestead very weird comment. Hope you’re okay.
The internet is the internet just get thicker skin.
This is why I want to research 3d printed organs so rejection is no longer a problem since you get your own cells in your new lungs.
Even with your own cells your organs can be rejected but still the chance is much lower.
3d printed organs will change
the world.
Laurel Cook yeah I dony think it works that way
greys anatomy covered this
Yeh or using stem cells to repair organs
Just had a double lung and heart transplant exactly one week ago. I feel so grateful for a second chance at life and will try to live my life to the fullest and not take things for granted anymore. I'm only one week into the transplant and it has been quite difficult mentally, emotionally and physically but I can safely say that I already feel better now than I did before the transplant. I'm in Australia and was on the waitlist for about 5 months. The doctors and nurses are so kind and treat you with such dignity, it's amazing and I'm so blessed to live in a country with free healthcare. Haven't had to pay a cent except for the parking fees lol
Are you serious that you got your lung transplanted??
@@Perfectsound88 yes, both lungs and a heart too. It was originally going to just be a heart transplant but developed pulmonary hypertension so they had to replace the lungs as well or they felt the new heart would eventually weaken and fail trying to pump against the hypertensive lungs. Happened exactly one week ago now
Hiii
I'm suffering from primary pulmonary arterial hypertension problm for 1 year
Present my age is 24
Plz tell me the treatment of ppAH
Plz reply sirr
Hi, how are you now in january 2023??
Are you ok after the surgery?
I'm not a lung transplant patient, but I am a kidney transplant patient. Because of my medications I was in and out of the hospital growing up. I sympathize with any organ transplant patients, and am thankful for every donor.
Currently on the waiting list now for a double lung transplant
Sha will win #LUNGSFORSHA God bless you lady I will keep you in my prayers always I think bout my Asha so much thinking of her made me want to watch this wish she had a chance to have this surgery she wanted it so much but I no she is resting in a better place. please take care and good luck to you and keep fighting.
just concerned about how this procedure is and those of us havenot heard any news lately within. two weeks and i am just dping some research on this procedure...i hope all is good and well for you til you reach out take care ❤ and best wishes to a new journey with life
Congratulations on your operation!! Praise god.

My wife Angela had a double lung transplant at 25 years old, on sept 7 2001 at Toronto general . We got married in May, a few months before her transplant. (Although there were many setbacks and many nights sleeping in the carlot till visiting hours open)
For 3 years after transplant, We had a beautiful love , a maried life full of deep love, life changing and affirming experiences. Iam forever grateful to the team at TGH. Very difficult to express how much I miss Angela though. I think about her every day. She was my Angela P. Xxoo
If you don't mind me asking, what caused your wife to need the lung transplant so young, at just 25? 😟
@@CrestedSaguaro520 ppl way younger get lung transplants
@@CrestedSaguaro520 I hope he didn't get new wife after..... All of those commotions are so stressful!
I'm dying of lung disease. Pulmonary hypertension. Diseased lungs don't accept blood from the heart creating heart failure also. I'm in my final stages. Just trying to keep comfortable at this point. God bless everyone that can get a transplant. I'm not a candidate. But one never knows, I'm already 6 months past my disease life expectancy. Praise God. Good luck to all of you out there that battle diseases.
Hugh Haefner 🙏 for you.
@@felixcat9455 thank you. I'm not in a wheelchair yet but getting close. It's very strange to know you're terminally ill. But everybody out there facing end of life laugh and have fun as much as you can. I have friends that are very witty and funnier than most stand up comics. I truly believe laughter is beneficial to getting through this type of thing. And realize that there are children afflicted with illnesses that will make it so they never even have an adult life at all. At least I made it to age 62 and had a great life up until illness. Even though 62 is not old age, it's more than what some others get. So I'm grateful for what I had and pray for others going through this.
Hugh Haefner you are an inspiration my friend. I really admire your positive attitude and courage in dealing with having a terminal illness. Just reminded me to say another prayer for you.
@@felixcat9455 Thank you. God bless you too.
Hugh Haefner what gave you pulmonary hypertension? My daughter is 2 and has it
I’m a double lung transplant patient surviving 8 years. Thank God!😊
Im a liver transplant patient and post op life is intense but im so glad to be alive. My grandfather had a double lung transplant and lived an extra 3 years.
I was born with one lung and a half, and a couple holes in my heart. A month ago my smaller lung collapsed and never came back so it was removed. I have severe asthma since I was a baby. Two years ago I was diagnosed with severe eosinophilic asthma. My one lung is not doing good. I've been in the hospital now for a month cause I had surgury in my heart and lung. I'm on oxygen, and feeding tube. I'm on the list for new lungs but I'm still discourage with the information about it.
@@proffesionalbusinessman3677 grazie, thank you

I recently got new lungs, I'm still in the hospital. I just have to try and be optimistic.
@@mathildamn9651 Hi thanks so far I'm doing good, thanks for asking.
The scary part about this is TH-cam suggesting this to me.. Without possibly knowing I am having breathing problems for the first time in my life...
pain aswell?
It. Knows. EVERYTHING.
Grizzly for me too, is the goverment intoxicating the air so our health decays slowly so that we would die as son as we retire but youtube knows this so it gives a warning with this video?
Well i have no breathing problems at all, between all these gaming videos this was 1 of the odder ones

My grandpa got a lung transplant. His body couldn't take it and sadly passed on to the next life 2 years later. It's nice to see what he got done.
I miss you Pop-Pop...I'll see you again soon.
so sad! god created us but also

My girl needs to get a double lung transplant due to her Cystic Fibrosis and watching this scares the shit out of me. I hope everything goes well with her.
How is everything? Is she okay 💓
Hope it went well
How are the things now?
She's been feeling a little better for the past year so she postponed the transplant 💖
@@bernadethhh I am glad to hear it.
I had a double lung transplant 11/19/22-my UNOS score was 98% so i basically was the “top spot” for my region. Was placed on ECMO before transplant and remained on ECMO for four weeks post transplant.
you good now?
This sounds insanely expensive.
Probably at least $500,000
@@hexagonist23 more like 5 million
Be happy, because where me and my parents come from in Europe. Everyone that needs a transplant who is not rich enough here needs to go to America or buy from a black market because the government decides when or weather you will be treated for big stuff like this and cancer 😭
And the black market is just for the donor... then for the sketchy surgery
where in europe? I've never heard about this from any of my european family or friends
It's 1 a.m. and I don't have any lung disease but still I can't stop watching this
I received the help of an almost identically structured process, including transplant teams and life long post operative followup for my transplant in New Zealand.
I'm so thankful to live in a country that also has a functioning public health system.
Richard: I'm glad you mentioned the life-long follow-up. Unlike most surgery, organ transplants require you to take medications to prevent rejection of the organ and prevent infections for the rest of your life. These medications require monitoring and adjustment, so contact with your healthcare team is an essential part of daily life after a transplant.
Perioperative Interactive Education ,
Richard Christie Australia could do that too
I am happy for you bro

What restrictions do u have
Happy u are doing well❤
Hi ,,are you ok now?
My grandfather is getting a lung transplant tonight, i am scared but i know God has him, thanks for the information!
7:03 that message tho. Such a mood hahahahah
I thought you were going to tell me the actual process of a transplant
A girl I knew had a lung transplant and she was fine for around a year and then her body rejected the new lungs 😔 you always take for granted what you have
Cait B did she die or survive?
And what hapen then ?
She ded
It wasn't the girl's fault if her cellular level of body's immune system rejects the organ.
Wasn’t she given immuno suppressing drugs ?
I have Cystic Fibrosis so I have been dealing with lung problems and stuff for my whole life, and I'm just now getting this on my recommended...
Me too. I can't have a transplant cause of B.cepecia but I'm praying for you to never need a transplant and be safe.
@@Zahra-ky6rb Oh no, I will be praying for you to stay healthy. also i'm sorry if it seems weird i really don't know what to say :(
@@lilcow1819 Oh thank you. I bet it worked. B.Cepecia was gone 2 day ago. Happy new year
*sees this video* *is now aware of breathing*
I know I’m getting so paranoid now
My dad has been in the hospital over a week now due to respiratory problems. He got diagnosed with cystic fibrosis about 2 years ago. I find it strange that just 2 years ago is when he started to have problems breathing because he is already in his 60's. Just yesterday it came up that he might need a lung transplant. This process sure a huge one and it can be overwhelming. It is for me and I'm not even the one receiving the lung transplant.
I'm sorry to hear that, cystic fibrosis is a scary disease. I hope your dad is doing well. My boyfriend was also diagnosed with cystic fibrosis almost a year ago at the age of 24 and it's terrifying
Doctors are amazing, they fix things that weren't made to be fixed
Health is the greatest gift we can have from God most of us dont respect our body smoke and do shit while people who have never touched any drugs go through hell prayers for everyone who have their loved ones in dire health problems.
sorry to break it to you, but there's no magic man in the sky granting people wishes and good health. the universe is vast and indifferent to the speck of dust we inhabit. praise the universe, not imaginary friends. cosmic elements created us, not a bearded magic man.

Gave me a runny nose....does that count?

My son needs a transplant and so far he's been turned down by 3 transplant centers (Vanderbilt University, Mayo Clinic, and the University of Alabama). He was turned down due to his esophagus not working as it should. I am reaching out to everyone and doing everything I can as his mother that wants to save her son. I am still trying to reach out to any and everyone. I am praying that one day my son will be able to tell his story of a successful transplant. If anyone knows anything I should do that I haven't done, please please let me know. Thank you!!

I’ve been watching Grey’s Anatomy and having tons of questions, so these videos are a must!
These videos really makes you realise how lucky you are if you're breathing normally and easily
We're not lucky, it's the people who can't that are unlucky. Another person's misfortune isn't another's fortune
My friend had a lung transplant.
He never fell asleep first at the sleepover ever again.
Its very complex procedure n very prone to rejection or infections......well it has very low rate of sucess n at time highly expensive...it was great process to watch ......congrats for who survived lung transplant n change my view on transplant
Anyone who has to go thru this your strong and amazing god bless u ❤️
I’m sure this was a wake up call for me to stop smoking. As this was recommended to me
I’ve had bronchitis for a while now (like for a couple months) and it’s not affecting me at all, my breathing is normal and I’m totally fine 🙂
Do you spit mucus from time to time?
Great informative video. My sister in law just went through this two days ago at Temple University Hospital.
Im only 21 got mines when i was 18 what i can say it's not easy its really hard but im greatfull at the same time all i can say this battle is not easy but its worth it❤️we got this🌟
And another episode of: you didn’t search for this
Thank you I’ll do this at home
God bless these doctors
This slightly eased my mind.
That's a good tutorial ....I'm gonna try it tonight at my home ...!!
Got this recommended after watching lots and lots of Claire Wineland ‘s video or any video that relates with her
Rip Claire, she lives on
Side note: Also get the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser to quickly tone breathing muscles and open airways.
DId this to our friend who slept first in a sleep over. No experience whatsoever, we watched this video and performed it to him using only some scissors and knives from the kitchen and mom's sewing kit inside a biscuit box. He woke up and said his terminal lung cancer was gone. 10/10 would do it again.
These videos are more interesting than these famous TH-camrs now in days

Interesting and terrific video, i will stop smooking after seeing that, thank u
you will likely get a a double lumen tube not an endotracheal tube. DLTs allow for lung isolation and one lung ventilation. Big surgery like this will have a few PIVs along with the central line. Arterial line will be placed for sure as well.
