@klm3, How soon is too soon? That is a great question and I hope that you will learn the answer to that when you have your evaluation. Each of us is unique and our liver condition as well as related health issues.

I have a deceased donor. I have never heard mention of donor height being a consideration in the match. I urge you to read the information that @jamesduaiswamy has shared.

Here are some links that you will find helpful as you wait for your scheduled appointment:

@klm3, Do you have any questions as you proceed toward evaluation? How can we help you prepare?

Hi again @rosemarya,

I was referred to Mayo Phoenix and Mayo is going through the process of working with my insurance which should be finished in the next couple of weeks. Anyway, I would like to take you up on a question about the evaluation process. I was unable to find the answer myself. So... When going through the evaluation it seems that it could take up to a week. Do you know if I'll be admitted to the hospital for the evaluations?
