Excellent first person resource on Liver Transplant experience

I just discovered this very informative blog from someone who has been through liver transplant surgery. I hope you find it informative too: https://flyme33.wordpress.com

First Visit to my G.I. post surgery

This week I visited my G.I. since having the surgery. Visit went well overall, however he did want me to get on the liver transplant list. Without saying it exactly, he did leave me with the impression this will be my ultimate permanent fix. As with most TIPS surgery recipients, the biggest concern is blockage of the stent. He said if my mental acuity started to slow down, I should be very wary and take myself to a hospital for further investigation. He also stressed the importance of continuance of my lactalose and even increase my intake. Overall, my walk away thoughts were good, but I got the distinct impression that this is a stop gap measure before a liver transplant. more to come...:)
