Hi Georgina, Sorry to hear what you have been going through. You have a great attitude though. I am unable to help with your question Im afraid. I do have the Alpha 1 gene too so know how bad that can make things. Just wondered whether you are a member of any Alpha 1 support groups? There are several on Facebook and they include people awaiting and post transplant who may be able to help. Let me know if you want links. And good luck with the weight gain. xxx
