   Hello,

   I'm Chelsea, I'm 20 and I'm about to have my left kidney removed due to poor function and frequent severe kidney infections.

   Basically I was wondering if anyone who has had this surgery could tell me what to expect in terms of recovery etc as I've already had my pre-op assessment and dont feel very clued up about it!

   Thank you

   Hello Chelsea

   It's a long time since you posted and I've only just come across this post. I do hope all went well with your surgery. I am 70 and had my left kidney removed when I was 12 after many childhood urine infections and hospitalised related illnesses! I never looked back and I hope you don't either. Best wishes.
