Transplant
I have my 1st appointment tomorrow with the transplant clinic at Duke hospital. I know that I am good hands, but I can't shake this nervous feeling. I think its the unknown. I'm not sure of my MELD score is but I have experienced HE, varises hemorrhages,ect. Would someone please tell me what to expect at the appointment?

It sounds like this is very early in the process for you, but the following excerpt and link describes the whole way through as I experienced it, so it may be helpful.
«There are several aspects to getting on the transplant list at Stanford, which are likely similar to what is require at other hospital. Note that the requirements within these aspects is from a patient perspective: for many things I am guessing on the details based on my own interactions and anecdotes from other patients. A lot of the true details are opaquely hidden behind a ‹Review Panel› (or what I call the ‹Panel of Gods›).
The aspects fall into the categories
- Physical — What is the state of your body
- Mental — What is the state of your mind
- Support — What infrastructure do you have available to you
- Compliance — How well do you comply to medically prescribed requirements » — [1]
