Scar tissue after Liver transplant

My transplant was just over three years ago. I was told to expect scar tissue to drop down and it seemed to do that. After several months and several different medical opinions, I was told it would dissipate and become smaller. I then advised the doctor that it was sometimes hard, sometimes soft and it could hear liquid. It was a hernia. It has been repaired and had grown quite large. Tom

Hi, Tom, @bogietopar. I want to commend you for being alert to your increasing symptoms and for advocating for yourself when you 'knew' that this was more than scar tissue. This is something that we all, will want to emulate. Our health with our organ continues to be a team effort!

Tom, I'm curious about how you are feeling now that the hernia has been repaired. What are some changes /activities that you are now able to enjoy again?

@david4stgh I want to notify you of Tom's experience. Have you any updates to share or any progress in getting a diagnosis?
