Everyone can be different but my experience on this site for the past 7 years tells me that about 10% seem to tolerate this TX as if nothing happened; 10% start having problems from day one and the rest including me started to have problems in week 4 and I got progressively worse until week 3 POST Tx. Appx 1 month post Tx, owning my own CPA firm, I returned to work but at first could only muster a few hours a day. Before long I was able to work normally. I credit my quick recovery from ingesting 3000 cals a day starting appx weeks post Tx. Should have done that sooner but I didn't find this site until that time.

I hope he's one of the "lucky" ones for his sake and yours.
