body changes after transplant

Does anyone who has had a transplant know if the changes wrought by CF will be eradicated after transplant? I hope that the clubbed fingers and barrel chest will be changed to a normal look after my transplant?

I know for me my posture has improved tremendously.

The barrel chestedness is slight but still there a little bit.

Clubbed fingers my doc said could take a few years to completely resolve.

I know for me the biggest change I have seen is my ability to build muscle. Befpre my transplant it did not matter how much I would exercise I was still small and muscle LESS but now post transplant I have been able to put on weight and build muscle - so I am becoming more proprtional.

I think another thing that I am thankful for is that the chronic muscle and back pain I had pre transplant is almost non existant now. Since I am not coughing constantly and not struggling so hard to breathe.

Take Care,
Linds
