Went to hepatologist today

[Guest guest]

I posted this once, but didn't see it, so I posted it again. My appointment

with the hepatologist went well. My new liver is doing great, but you know I am

having problems keeping my red blood cell counts up during this treatment. My

hepatologist said my hemoglobin sucks...his exact words...lol. I might have to

get two shots a week of Procrit instead of just the one I'm getting now. My

hepatologist said I'm weird because I am gaining weight on this treatment. He

said people usually lose weight on it. Not me. Some of it must be my under

active thyroid. He said I should start eating a diabetic diet. My blood sugar

is fine, but it would help me lose weight, I guess, and it will prevent getting

a fatty liver, which he is a little worried about now because of my weight. He

doesn't expect me to do much excercise while on the treatment, but he thinks I

will lose all the weight once the treatment is over.
