The liver is one organ which can regenerate. So after donation, the liver cells start to grow back within the first two weeks, making you feel tired and exhaused. You may be able to go home after a month from the surgery, and will have to visit the hospital after 2 weeks for a check up. You can get to work in 6-8 week sfrom the surgery and start exercising and other energy consuming activities after 2 months fro the surgery, considering all your report are normal. Life goes on like before within 3 months of the surgery.
