My recollection of the information I read when my husband was going through the evaluation process for his transplant is that you will need to be sober 6 months before they will even put you on the transplant
list. Once on the
list, if you start drinking again you will be removed from the
list and a new waiting period will begin again to ensure your sobriety. So it is very important that you not drink - not even a beer.
Ask your doctor if he is a hepatologist or gastroenterologist.
