Liver transplant - Let's support each other

I just finished my transplant workup. Was in very bad shape this summer. Weighed 79 pounds and went into the hospital. Was having paracentesis every 10 days. Finally got a drain put in to drain at home. Then the acites just stopped all of a sudden. I chalk it up to lots of prayer. Nothing else had changed, except I was dehydrated and the Dr lowered my dose of fluid medicine. Went to Mayo in Jacksonville and found out MELD score is 6. Probably to early for transplant. Will find out next week.

Hi @kimestes, welcome to the Transplants group. I'd like to connect you with other liver transplant patients like @stella25 @gaylea1 @cmael @contentandwell @jeanne5009 @jerrynord to mention a few.

Have you been able to able to gain some weight back?
