I am currently not on dialysis, but close. My first choice would be a transplant before dialysis is required and if dialysis is required I would want PD.
As far as I understand PD is not available if you have had abdominal surgery. If I was to have a transplant and it failed/wasn't successful, would I be able to go on to PD, or would the transplant surgery prevent this?

After lots of abdo surgeries and transplant surgery I still could successfully do PD. Mine went wrong after 5 'happy' PD years, but that was due to an undetected infection in my head while having a drain going from my head to my heart.
So depending on the state of your peritoneum it's poss.

Love and luck, Cas
