My husband's main drug is Everolimus for antirejection. Have ongoing ascites issue but seems to be slowing. We're still in the 6 month post surgery acute period so patience must be practiced. Quite a journey!

@alliepete, I want to take this opportunity to extend my welcome to Mayo Connect. I have been taking cellcept and tacrolimus for my liver/kidney transplant for 12 years. I am unfamiliar with Everolimus except by name recognition, and I read that your husband is taking it. At 6 months post transplant, he can expect medication and/or dosage adjustments until his body responds well to one. He will need to be taking it for the rest of is life, so patience, as you say must be practiced.
What kind of progress is he having with reduction of ascites?
