Is there anyone out there that lives in Wisconsin but had a lung transplant at Loyola (outside of Chicago)? I'm trying to talk to someone about it because I believe this is my fate and I just want to see how the drive back and forth was, the experience as a whole, etc. If anyone cut there could help, I would be very appreciative!! Thank you!!

Hi Nicki,
My brother was transplanted in 3/05 at Loyola. He was a pt of Dr. Stone's but saw Dr. Garrity's team at Loyola. My brother, unfortunately, did not have a chance to enjoy his new lungs as he passed away in 4/05. Sorry I can't be of help in that regard.

However, I live in Milwaukee with my family in Chicagoland area. So I travel a few times a month to visit them.

Did you live in IL when you received your transplant? Is there a team near you that can manage your transplant? We manage lung transplants from other hospitals at my Children's hospital in Wisconsin.

I recommend the earliest appointment so you can leave very early to avoid morning traffic or take a noon appointment so you are traveling after the morning rush. WI/IL interstate is continually undergoing construction so it is not always easy to know exactly when to leave. Usually 10-2 pm is a safe time.

Feel free to write me if you have any specific questions!

Good luck! Jenn
