I usually schedule my annual checkups in November/December depending on who is in the Transplant Clinic at the time. I have a strong preference as to who I will work with by this time since I have been around there for over 20 years now. I schedule the two together so that I only have to make one trip and also save on the cost for insurance purposes. There is no sense in wasting time or insurance money repeating tests that both transplant followups order. I am all about being a cost effective person when it comes to those resources.

@charicen, I also have a liver and a kidney transplant. However they were transplanted at the same time, and from the same donor (simultaneous liver and kidney transplant). So I naturally have both evaluations at the same appointment. I am happy that you can do both evaluations at the same time. I think that a lot of the tests overlap anyway.
