Unless your liver is diseased or fatty it has tremendous regenerative powers. When a person is a living donor it usually takes about six weeks for the liver to regenerate itself. The biggest danger occurs in the first few weeks. As part of the operation, the hospital makes the stomach non acidic. It can no longer kill the bacteria normally eaten with food. It is extremely dangerous for the donor to eat anything other than sterile food. After six weeks, the donor has a normal liver as if nothing happened. The main difference is the large scar.
Hepatitis B is now curable. The new liver will not cure the disease. It will still require treatment.
