Dealing With Financial Issues After Liver Donation Surgery

You may find yourself dealing with financial issues
 after liver donation surgery. Therefore, it's important that you fully understand how these issues may affect you.
 
If you have a job and won't receive a paycheck while you're recovering, it may make things difficult for you financially. If money is tight, you may have to get money from your savings or investments, borrow money from family members, or use a credit card to get through this time.
 
If you do experience financial difficulties, be sure to talk with the social worker on your transplant team. He or she can give you advice for working through these issues and answer any questions you may have.
