There is no one answer to this question. There are so many variables not the least of which are your other medical problems and the standards set forth by your surgeon and the transplant service. This is a question you should direct toward your transplant team.
This is a great question for your transplant team, but you should expect a long stay in the hospital given how complex this surgery is.
