It truly depends on just how sick you are and it is of utmost importance to have a Gastroenterologist who will act quickly on your behalf and get you to a Hepatologist. Even better would be a Transplant Hepatologist at a Transplant Hospital.

All of this takes time and key is having great doctors who will be strong advocates for you. In my case I was exceptionally blessed and the process went very quickly. I had non alcohol cirrhosis which ultimately came from being a diabetic. I’m available to help. I’m not great at posting her but will do my best. There’s always talking on the phone if that works better for you.

Thank you so much. I looked up the doc. He is a hepatologist who works with a transplant team. My pcp said he does not do colonoscopies like a gi does but I’m not really concerned about that right now.

I have a genetic disease that can cause liver and lung issues. I will call his office this week to schedule an appointment. For all I know It could take a month to get in to see him.

Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.
