What are the long-term effects of the donor surgery?
When the incision is made, nerves are cut and the scar area may feel numb or tingle for several weeks or months after surgery. After the incision is healed, no difference in energy level, ability on the job, life expectancy, susceptibility to illness, sexual functioning, childbearing, or general feeling of health should be noticed. There is no need for changes in lifestyle or diet, nor will special medications be needed. Studies have shown that self-esteem remains high for years after donation and that donors maintain a positive attitude because of the surgery.
