Update...three months since transplant

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

It has been three months since my liver transplant, and I had my last

appointment with the surgeon today. He said my labs are " perfect " ,

and I am doing " great " . He was incredibly pleased. He said I am the

only person he didn't have to make any changes for. Usually, he

makes changes with the meds at every appointment. I do labs once a

week, and have to start seeing the hepatologist in two months. I've

seen the hepatologist a couple of times before and every time I have

an appointment with the surgeon, he always pops in to say hi. He's a

nice guy. The surgeon is too. The surgeon is actually the chief of

surgery at the transplant center. I feel great and have so much

energy now, and strong. I never had any rejection, and hope it

continues that way (knock on wood). I will eventually have to do the

treatment for the Hepatitis C, which doesn't disappear after

transplant and treatment has to be done. Hopefully, treatment will

make it undetectable so it doesn't damage my new liver. My viral

count for the Hepatitis C is quite low.

I hope everyone is doing well and things will work out for everyone.

I read the postings every day, and pray for all of you and/or your

loved ones to be as healthy as possible. Life is very precious.
