While many people go on to recover fully from liver donation surgery, some people have a harder time getting back to full speed. Your healthcare providers want your recovery to go smoothly, so be sure to let them know if you start to have problems or notice something that doesn't feel right.

Be sure to call your doctor immediately if you experience long-lasting:

Pain
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea.

Or notice:

A change in your health or eating habits
A fever
Any new or unusual symptoms or side effects
Any side effects that won't go away.

You may need to return to the hospital for further treatment.

Most complications can be treated, but this can only happen if you let your healthcare providers know that something is wrong. Good communication is the key.
