@deejean123, Welcome to Connect. I am 7 years post liver/kidney transplant. I have not experienced the problem that you are describing. I can understand your not wanting to go to the ER. But if you start to develop worsening symptoms, or a fever, please go and get it checked out.
Unfortunately, our health complications don’t always coincide with our scheduled appointments. I encourage you to contact your transplant coordinator at Cleveland Clinic. He/she would be the best qualified to give you some advice.
I live 800 miles away from my transplant center. And I have experienced much comfort and advice by way of phone communication. Plus they have also spoken with my local docs when necessary.
I hope you can resolve this issue. I’m interested in learning what is going on, in case I ever experience anything similar.
Rosemary

thanks so much Rosemary I have connected with the my chart at Cleveland Clinic and am hoping for a response tonight or tomorrow as to what they advise once again thanks

I’m glad I could lend some support to a fellow transplant recipient! We have to be extra careful and look out for each other.

hello, do you still have your gall bladder. Right side below the breast sits your gall bladder. Something to check on

@deejean123, How are you feeling? And if you are comfortable to share- Are you okay to wait until your appointment on 15th?
Rosemary

Hi, @deejean123. According to my calendar, you are at Cleveland Clinic for your annual review. Hope all is going well for you as you navigate those appointments. I also hope that you did/will get a resolution for your right side pain.
Hugs from a fellow transplant recipient.

Hi Robin @harliegirl,
Thanks for the suggestion for @deejean123 with respect to the pain she is experiencing on her right side. Deejean, did you get any answers at your appointment or through MyChart?

Robin,
We look forward to getting to know you. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

I am 3 ur past liver transplant and I am sleeping for days and all the sudden it looks like I'm getting a hernia.

@kimm53, I think that you should contact your transplant team. Whenever you are experiencing any kind of unusual or 'all of a sudden" symptoms, you need to talk to them. We transplant people have to get accurate advise from our medical staff.
Will you let me know what you find out?

I'm new on here and I'm following your post. May I ask how was your outcome from your Dr. appt.? My stomach is swelling again from my liver transplant in March of this year 2020. I've already had one paracentesis in April not sure if I need another. Anyone?

@rgt, Welcome to Connect. I want to Congratulate you on your liver transplant in March. I had my liver and kidney transplant in 2009, and I did not need any paracentesis after my transplant, although I did have my fair share of them before it. Was your April paracentesis performed by your transplant center or at a local facility? What are your transplant doctors saying about why you are accumulating fluid your abdomen?

I would like to invite you to post your question in the Liver transplant support group where it can be more readily viewed by liver transplant recipients. You can click on this link in blue > https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/liver-support-group/

I had a liver and kidney transplant 10/24/20. I have the same symptoms as you described. I had a cat and it shows fluid, but prescribed diuretics rather than drain. My right side has eased up, but my stomach is way bloated especially under belly button. I also don’t sleep well at all.
