Transplant done October 2020. Transplant went well came home from hospital two mos.later. I lost a
Considerate amount of weight. Still working on building up my strength. My stomach area was very soft
And almost flat, very flat as I lay on my back. But two to threes ago my top belly is swollen and surgery site where the new liver is located is also swollen and tender,if I punch on the spot it hurts. I am going for a
MRI but that is not scheduled for another week, any advice

@jackie421blfdgurl, I hope that you get satisfactory results from your MRI. Is it this week?

@jackie421blfdgurl , We are at greater risk of an infection or other complication that can quickly develop. I don't want to frighten you, however, it is in your best interest talk to your physician or whoever is on duty.
Please check in here tomorrow and let me know what you found out.
