Hi and keep strong. I'm a post transplant patient. Are you having any problem with fluid build up? I sure did. Talk to your Dr's. They can petition you to get higher up the transplant list based on your situation.

@suzeaz, Welcome to Connect. How long ago did you receive your transplant? How are you doing now?
You are absolutely correct to encourage patients to talk with their doctor. Liver disease and transplant require a team effort between doctors and patient.
@tayloryvette, Here is some information about the MELD score written by the transplant staff that supports your menton about petitions by the doctor in some cases.
