Hello i go in for surgery to have my whole right kidney removed on april 9th, i'm a firefighter by trade and my question is when do you think I'll be able to get back to swinging an ax and get back to full firefighting duties. Not looking forward to this at all. |

Had my right kidney removed in 2011 and was back to work in six weeks ,I think the more normal amount of time would be about 8 weeks since your job requires a lot of physical activity.Also a lot depends on type of surgery you are having and how fast you recover,good luck sorry you had to join us and please keep us posted

Thanks Limelife50, I'm having it removed robotic but i know nothing about this, but i have to say thank God for this forum because i feel so at ease now after reading so many posts on here and knowing so many people have walked down the path i'm heading down. and it's great to read all the success stories.
