I would also like to mention that with all the weight loss after the transplant, I did not feel normal. Everyone told me the weight loss was great, but I lost too much too fast. I still had the "sick" look about me.

I was hurting in the right side when I got up and down but thought it was just the routine of healing and so on. This pain was pain from the bile duct. I underwent CT scan but nothing was found by local radiologist. So I continued on until my next checkup at Mayo and that is when bile duct problem was found.

@chattykathy I hope all your health problems are behind you at this point.

I am in a similar situation with my weight loss; people say how good I look but it has taken a toll on my face, and on the skin on my body which of course most people do not see other than the people in my water exercise class. If I had it to do over I think I would have stopped the weight loss a little sooner but now I have a whole new wardrobe of clothes so I do not want to have to buy a larger size and discard all of that.

@chattykathy, I have tagged you on a discussion in the Transplant group. I hope that you will be able to access that discussion directly and not need to navigate the system since it is difficult for you to do.
I have also tagged @contentandwell, @2011panc.
