My father got a liver transplant a month ago at UCHealth the doctors did a great job and took good care of my father, he was a really sick man and thank god he was able to get his transplant and he’s recovering really well we’re very happy with the staff at this hospital Thank you UCHealth
I am a living donor liver transplant (LDLT) donor for my father and we had gone through surgery in September 2012. From 2012 to 2016, I was living very normal and also play outdoor sports (cricket) occasionally. In July 2016, I lift about 35Kg (suitcase) weight and move this from the ground floor to the third floor of the building with stairs. From that time, I feel uncomfortable or little pain in my abdomen (around the area of transplant surgery cut). If I walk about 20 minutes, stay in a sitting or standing position for more than one hour then again I feel pain or uncomforted in my abdomen. I am using an abdominal support belt since that time but the pain is not getting better from 2016. I consult many times with physical therapist/orthopedics, but they say it's nothing but only muscular strain. Does It happen with any liver donor/recipient? What did they find its solution? Any valuable suggestions? Thank you
I work in a living donor tissue bank and was obviously interested to hear your story. You gave the most important gift possible! I’m sorry you’ve developed discomfort and I hope it gets better. I’d be reassured by the guidance you’ve received and am sure you probably know much more than I do about living donor liver transplantation. Thank you for telling your story!

I just filled out UC's survey to possibly be a donor. Hope I make the grade.
