@contentandwell yes my ERCPs were/are have all been post transplant. I had no bile duct issues prior to surgery. I don't know if it was caused when reattaching the ducts to the new liver? As for fluid build up I never had fluid build up either. Only my feet and ankles swoll up. I was put on diuretics for that and the swelling went down significantly. I also requested more than 30 days supply of tacrolimus but was told only 1 month could be dispensed (I live in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦) at a time. I have to take Prograf only though. They didn't want me on a generic brand. They did end up giving me 100 pills instead of the 60 though.

@gaylea1 My immunosuppressant is a generic and is supplied by a speciality CVS in Boston - they send it up to me via UPS. My transplant department wants me to always use the same generic so I have made sure that they do not substitute a different manufacturer. My feet were so swollen that I couldn't put any shoes on, I had slip-on slippers that I wore all of the time. I even went to my hairdresser in slippers!
