I think you are going to Mayo Jax
I was there last week for an EDG and Colonoscopy. I have Stage 4 cirrhosis with a Meld of 8. Been this way for 3+ yrs! I have been to the eval. and it is rigorous! You will learn sooo much
Keep notes and write down questions every night you are there.
All of the Drs. are amazing. I have been to 4 on the team. The PAs are very important and your link when you have concerns going forward....they are awesome too.
Let us know how you do and ask me anything.
We may run into each other someday at what I call Disney World for sick people...LOL

I have about a week and a half to go and the employees here are so helpful! I've had tests done that I didn't know existed! They said my MELD score based on these labs is 15, and I'm so thankful each clinician I saw gave me contact information and have been able to answer all the questions I had so far. I have another week and a half to go, and will be glad to get out of a hotel and go home! (envision Dorothy on Wizard of Oz clicking her shoes saying there's no place like home)! LOL

Thus far, everything is going well although they have now stopped scheduling xrays, etc. due to the Corona virus so hopefully I can get the orders I got yesterday done when I get home.
