Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@gaylea1 I presume you get regular lab work done. If your creatinine (and I think BUN too) is within range then you don't need to worry. Mine was going high so they told me to drink 80 - 100 ounces of water/fluid a day. That didn't do it enough for me so they switched me from tacrolimus (Prograf) to sirolimus (Rapamune).
You still see a hepatologist post-transplant? At my hospital, after transplant you no longer see the hepatologist, just the transplant team. All hospitals seem to have slightly different protocols.
Bottom line -- if they are not concerned then you don't need to be either!

@contentandwell. The (liver) transplant team is made up of a group of hepatologists at University Hospital. I do have labs done every month still. They are keeping a close eye on me. I normally drink at least 64 oz water daily. I do have some symptoms, loss of appetite, restless nights and some diziness.
