Post Transplant Surgery and Early Recovery: What's normal?

@gayle1 hopefully the worst is behind you and you can start enjoying your new lease on life. Was the bile duct problem related to the lack of blood flow? My doctor told me the bulk of the liver gets better from both the hepatic artery and the portal vein, but the bile ducts are only supplied by the hepatic artery.

@gphetteplace thank you, I believe I am over the worst and looking forward to rebuilding my strength. I'm not sure what exactly was wrong with my bile duct. I believe it was blocked, maybe when it was surgically attached to the new liver? It could have been something due to the hepatic artery. I'm not sure how my labs turned of so I'll be in touch with my team sometime today.
