🫀 Life After Liver Transplant – What to Expect
With Dr. Chetan Kalal, DM Hepatology | Liver Transplant Specialist | Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai
Your journey doesn’t end with a transplant — it begins anew.

🧑⚕️ “Most people ask me — will I live a normal life after liver transplant?”
The answer is YES — if guided right.
With the right care, follow-up, and lifestyle, liver transplant recipients go on to live full, active lives. Work, travel, celebrations, family — it’s all possible.
I’m Dr. Chetan Kalal, Maharashtra’s first DM Hepatologist, and my mission is to help you not just survive — but truly thrive after transplant.

✅ What to Expect After Liver Transplant?
🩺 1. Regular Follow-Ups
• Weekly in the first month, then gradually spaced out
• Blood tests to monitor liver function, immunity, and infections
• We help schedule in-clinic and video follow-ups — even across time zones.

💊 2. Immunosuppressive Medicines
• These prevent organ rejection
• Most patients adjust well and doses reduce over time
• We provide guidance to minimize side effects (e.g., sugar, weight gain)
