Re: Anyone have experience with lung transplant patient or process?
A good friend, golf partner and former coworker is recovering from a double lung transplant. I think he’s 66 and wasn’t in the best shape. He had progressive onset of breathing trouble and went on oxygen just to aid in walking. Went through what your Dad is doing now.
Got transplants done at NYP Columbia. Other options are NYU and Beth Israel Newark. He was hospitalized in normal recovery for quite a while until good enough to leave hospital. Lost weight
I had lunch with him in November and he looked great and was his old self talking and joking around. Plans are for another lunch in 2 weeks. He seems better and stronger all the time.
This is serious stuff and a lot of variables play into potential outcomes, but it’s being done locally by skilled medical teams with good outcomes.
Good luck!
