Hi @willie0027 and welcome to Connect. I'd like to bring @danab into this conversation as he may have some experiences to share with you. Willie, can you explain a bit more? It sounds like you're planning ahead to know what medical costs to expect after transplant and to distinguish what "hidden" costs may not be covered by Medicare. Is that about right?

Hello Colleen, I've had the transplant in July but I'm going to retire this December. Right now I'm not paying any major bills for follow up treatments because of my insurance, but all that will change when I retire and flip over to Medicare. So I'm trying to get my mind set on and estimate on what my cost my be. By the way my stomach has been numb since the surgery, how long does that last?
