Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@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.

@gaylea1 At Mass General they do work in cooperation with each other of course but pre-transplant you generally only see the hepatologist, and post only the transplant team. The hepatologist has let me know though that she is there for me if I need anything.
I never had a false alarm call. Like you, I was called at right around noon. We got to the hospital in mid-afternoon, but the transplant didn't occur until about 12:30 A.M.
When they called I asked if I could take a shower before I came and they said no! Come right away. I suspect they just wanted to have me there to make sure I had nothing to eat in the pre-surgery time.
