View submission: Anyone had a kidney removed?
I had a partial nephrectomy around five years ago.
Mine was done laparoscopically though (surprisingly as I'm overweight). I was home the next day (once my catheter and drain were removed!)
Took a few months to feel "normal" again (as in mobility, tiredness and pain).
No lingering effects it seems.
Good luck. (FYI my surgery was assisted by a Da Vinci robot, I'm not sure how common that is. )
There's nothing here!
