I was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis

Posted by beaverwatch @beaverwatch, 1 day ago

I'm 47 never drink neither did my dad who battled and lost to the same illness. Since the diagnosed I've lost 30lbs on purpose no more suger I quit smoking and eating red meat. My question is I'll be paying this out of pocket and wonder what's the cost of liver transplant and after care thanks in advance. Hope ya'll have a great day

At age 47 you're young and have a lot of life ahead of you. The article from @parrot53 shows financial assistance is available. Don't let your concern about the finances lead to indecision and prevent you from getting critical care. Take care of yourself and get back to enjoying life!

I’m sorry to hear that you need a transplant and you are paying for it with no insurance? Well my transplant 3 years ago was close to 2 million dollars and I had really good insurance all I owe now is $2000 for my deductible, keep in mind I was a very extreme case IVU for 7 months and I was considered near death, I hope you aren’t as extreme but it isn’t a cheap operation plus the aftercare is permanent

I’m doing very well 3 plus years post op first 2 1/2 were pretty rough because I herniated my surgical scar which required another $160,000 surgery repair with mesh over my whole stomach, now I swim a mile a day and retired from work, I hope yours goes well, this is the group if you have any questions or input from other patients
