You have to be put on a transplant list. You have to be approved by your Doctor for this also. He should be able to provide you with a list of hospitals in your area which do these transplants. You will need his verification to do this.

Barnes Hospital in Saint Louis also has a program for Liver Transplants, there are hospitals through-out the country that do. Talk to your doctor about it, if he doesn't do anything, FIND a new doctor that will send you in the right direction. Transplants are based on need not on where you are in the over-all lists. The one's that need the transplants most, get them first as the right matches come available. There is no 5 year wait for sure. So get into the program you need ASAP and follow their rules and suggestions.

Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. The waiting list for a liver is five or more years. Good luck. I truly mean that.

you will need to discuss this issue with your doctor, but you can call the american liver foundation and they can help you towards the implant list.
good luck and prayers!
