I donated a kidney a little over two years ago, through the organization- Renewal. I have not met and do not have contact with the recipient. I was up and about in a few days after surgery, and back to work after two weeks. I feel fine, boruch Hashem. My Kidney function must be tested every year.
Since my kidney donation, I have met many other kidney donors, including my brother, whom are all doing well, boruch Hashem.
A potential donor is tested thoroughly. Since a donor is in very good health before surgery, they should b’ezrat Hashem, recover quickly and completely, and live a healthy, long life.
