Transplant: Tacrolimus, What’s Your Target Range?

Hi @l0lag0lag0b3 😊
Good morning!! Yes, my small hernia is located near my belly button and occurred after the kidney transplant surgery. Currently, it doesn't seem to be growing and it's not painful so it's "on watch". I think you had a kidney transplant too.... Do you have an incisional hernia from your kidney transplant surgery or from something else? My understanding is that @jackie421blfdgurl had her incisional hernia repaired with mesh after her liver transplant surgery created a bulge. Do you have a bulge or any pain?

Hello: Hello1234
Another question that I should have presented is:
Was it done by urology surgeon or a general surgeon , was the transplant center in loop with the surgery.
In my case I had a mesh inserted in 2012 (before the KT), After the transplant & now with a (new lease on life) I engage in outdoor activities - so off late I seem to have pain in right front abdomen, not sure.. (no bulge as yet).
Just want to understand the logistics after the kidney transplant. (My case the graft is located in the center of the abdomen. (as I have a native pelvic kidney..a genetic drawback )
Thanks
