What do u mean by”symptoms right before surgery?” Depends on how sick u are. But you have no increase in symptoms before surgery. Maybe just real nervous. I had a transplant 4 years ago. I know what u r going through! Are u on the transplant list? Do uspend a lot of time in the hospital? Just trying to figure out how far u are along! Know what I mean!?

@rowdyramsey @gaylea1 My symptoms did increase dramatically in the last 4 - 6 weeks prior to my transplant. I was doing extremely well most of the time, no real effects except isolated HE episodes, but then I suddenly got severe edema and ascites. I gained about 35 pounds of fluid weight. During the summer I was being told it would probably be November before I would get a transplant. I could not imagine going that long feeling as I did but then on September 22 I got the call and I had my transplant on September 23.
