The intestinal transplant experience is unique for each person.
Because people recover at different speeds, you will have frequent follow-up appointments for the first 3 to 6 months after surgery.
Once you leave the hospital, you will visit the outpatient clinic almost daily for the first few weeks.
As you recover, these visits will decrease to 2 or 3 times a week and then weekly. Once you're eating solid foods and your doctor sees no signs of rejection or infection, you will visit us monthly for follow-up appointments.
