Lung transplant

I was recently told I'm at stage 4 emphysema and there's nothing that I can do but have a lung transplant. I'm start Friday learning more about it with a specialist. Has anyone had a lung transplant or both lungs? What did you experience, what are the steps and how long did it take from when you started taking steps to when you got lung transplant? Thank you for any info you are will to share
