HOW SO???? video was made in 2013 ?

@M JA DON’T call people names please

I am glad that some people made it this long....my little syster didn't make it. The lung transplant it is not for everyone....😪😪😪

Hello, Please how is Craid doing at this point? My mother is being evaluated for double lungs transplant.

@@cgotca Sorry to hear about your sister. If it is okay with you, can you please provide more information on what happened, it would help us know the cons of lung transplant

James what was his age at the time of surgery?

I think in 50s

Is he still alive

Oh, prayers and best wishes to you dear heart. Pray for me too. God bless you always.

😇🙏💙

I know what you mean..I was born with one lung and a half, and a couple holes in my heart. A month ago my smaller lung collapsed and never came back so it was removed. I have severe asthma since I was a baby. Two years ago I was diagnosed with severe eosinophilic asthma. My one lung is not doing good. I've been in the hospital now for a month cause I had surgury in my heart and lung. I'm on oxygen, and feeding tube. I'm on the list for new lungs but I'm still discourage with the information about it.

Wow. My prayers are with you. Have you considered heart and lung transplant?

@@fitjef since I was born that way my body has adjusted to the way it is, so a transplant would do more harm then good

Hi how are you? Can you please share a little bit of your story with me? My dad might need a lung transplant. Please help me understand more about the process.

@@josselyntobar4789 actually I have an entire KZfaq channel devoted to transplant education and motivation. You can find me by searching for The Transplant Helper or taping on my picture on a mobile device will take you there. Once there I’d recommend the “Getting Started” playlist.

​@@TransplantHelperGlad to hear you are still going. My left lung is stiff. Just found about it few weeks or months ago.

are you ok? are you dead? will you reply to me even after 8 years???

How's your father and how much are they charging

Don’t ever give up! There can always be hope 💓

Hi Davon. How are you?

You there?

It's good that in your country the opportunity is offered to you, in Romania I don't care about you, you can see on yutube cases of how they died waiting for the Romanian state

How r u now sir

I am waiting for mine now and I had lost like 45-50 pounds

@@greesable8588 am also waiting for heart lung transplant hope so get the rrbest

How are you now Michael?

Forgot to add...the surgeon suggested that I would be a great candidate for a single lung, but at first, I wanted a double, but this is why I am asking you if your's was a single or not. If yours was a single, what kind of activities or how much activities can you do?

Hello how long does it take to get on the list I would like to talk to you further more about this what is the cost on average waiting for your response thank you bye

@@vertism.wilder4213 even same here am going through

CJ Girard I had a double lung/heart transplant 5 years ago and am doing fine...

How’s your mom doing?

​@@kathytanksley9425wow. Do you have any problems with the medications? I might need a transplant for lung soon.

Good question

@Sree Krishnan No, every amount of meds depends on the patient

I take 27 doses a day. Some are the same meds 2x but its 27 pills, 4 nasal sprays a day and 1 shot for sugar control because of the steroids. Was 70 when I got a left lung and a heart bypass at the same time. Was diagnosed 8 years before with IPF and told I had 3 to 5 yrs. Because of my age I had to go through some extensive testing to prove that i was strong enough and and well enough to be sick. Once I made the wait list it only took 2 weeks to get the magic call. After surgery I was acute ICU for 2 weeks before they could get me off the pipe. Im 8 months out and finally feeling pretty good and getting stronger. What screwed up my rehab was Covid. I was never so sick In my life. I would go through the transplant surgery again before I would want Covid again At 4 months Covid set be back to the beginning plus the added feeling of being sick. Dr said I had gotten it before the surgery it would have without a doubt killed me. The old lungs were down to about 20% or less. One new lung not on 02 since covid on room air im at 97-98%

@@HeavyHaul51 Thanks for sharing. Hope you are well!

No, you need two. I'm dying from fibrosis among other things. I'm just now thinking about transplant. I'm 38 and male. Your dad must be able to survive it or he's not eligible. His health must be good other then the lungs. Sometimes I think death may be the best choice, if not for my three young sons. I'm down to 119lbs.

Jason Taylor,,, It's easy to take for granted ones good fortune in health. Although my father is very challenged by his health issues. he's not as bad as you are. I am so very sad that you are having to endure these health issues. But, I do know that anything is possible through faith and the power of God. Never give up buddy.

@@NAFOARMY how are you now jason??

@@loveme6670 i hope hes ok

Long term survival rates for lung transplant patients is not that great. It's like 43% survival rate at five years and goes down from there. I just watched half of another video for those rates. The problem is the body's immune system attacking the new organs that are transplanted.

@@jaxflfreebird it’s actually 60%

@@duskthunder9274 Well let's hope it continues to go up. Lung disease is pretty scary and it's a great reason not to smoke.

Plz donate organ but rejection list should nt be tr I hope so same workup am going through

IKR? I was gonna say that. He didn't even say a single word to thank the soul that gave him a life, he is very ungrateful.

@@minejohn1 because a lot of times they don’t know them..

​@@minejohn1we dont know that. Those are personal things. People often write even to the donors family. It is really God who gives or takes lives.
