it all depends on your situation. It is said that it is more painful for the donor than the recipient. As the recipient allow me to tell you that is not true. My mother was the kidney donor and she was able to leave the hospital about a week later. After the surgery your not allowed to pick up above 5 pounds for a while and you are of course sore. Since you will only have one kidney, the kidney you still have will grow to compensate for the loss of the transplanted kidney. Though back then is still a little fuzzy for me, I want to say that you will be back at work within 6 weeks. If you are considering being a donor, please don't change your mind due to the information above. I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure when I was 15 years old. I was told I had less than a month. I, of course, survived. But I was forced to go on emergency peritoneal dialysis which saved my life but was nearly unbearable. My mom was able to give me her kidney and gave me life for the second time. Since then, I graduated high school, i played captain on the volleyball team, I am now in my sophmore year in college looking to become a nurse for kids suffering the same disease I did. There is a waiting list with hundreds of thousands of names of people awaiting an organ transplant. tens of thousands die at the very least each year, because people are to afraid of the temporary pain that will save anothers life. Good Luck to you and God Bless.
