Hi, @anniejax04 and Welcome to Mayo Connect. I am a transplant recipient, and I understand how you are feeling as you approach the date of your liver transplant evaluation. I can assure you that you are not alone.
Are you currently a patient at Mayo? If not, you will be amazed at the coordinated care and the focused attention on you-the patient. You should have received a detailed schedule of all of your appointments. Yes, it is going to be like a marathon and you will sleep well afterwards!

My advice is to bring a notebook to take notes and write questins, and a tote bag for all of the information that you will be given. Bring some snacks and a bottle of water in case you don't have time for eating. Of course a light sweater is a necessity because the buildings are always cold!

I will be looking for some transplant patients from Phoenix to connect with, In the meantime, I have located a discussion that has been ongoing for a long time. Like any conversation, it does veer off course. Yu might want to look at the beginning (oldest) comments first.

Annie,
Will you be traveling to Phoenix? Have you arranged lodging? Is someone coming with you to be a 2nd set of ears? What is your biggest concern right now? Do you have any questions about any of the tests?

Hi Annie, I had my transplant in Phoenix in February. The Transplant team there is wonderful. They had good answers to every question I had during the evaluation. Write down all of your concerns and take the list with you. I learned so much about the transplant process from the team there, and by asking questions I felt I understood the process, risks, and healing process well. So we (my caretaker and I) felt very confident (though still nervous) going into the actual transplant. Good luck to you!
