I am 5 months post and I too lost weight at first but it leveled off ok. Hopefully you’re urinating a lot cos you’re drinking tons of water? That is good 😊
I suggest you study the side effects of the drugs, so some things don’t come as a surprise. I had been told 5-7 years, if ever, so had done zero research on what happens after a transplant, when I got the call after only 13 months on the list. This support group is the best thing ever. Always answers to all questions. Nothing off limits…it’s a shared experience. Lots of luck on your recovery.

I am six months post transplant. I wish I had found this group prior to my surgery. But I am here now. I too was told 4-7 years so I assumed I had time to do any type of in-depth research. Fortunately after 3.5 months I received my transplant, her name is Beanie! My six month checkup was yesterday, which went well and now I return to Orlando in August for her yearly checkup. So much to be thankful for 🙏🏽.
