Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
YOu need to follow doctors instructions. if he could wait for years he can wait till his blood findings stabilize. this is not n emergency and for such complex procedure,patient must be well prepared. There is absolutely no reason to hurry with liver transplantation.
Wish you good health. Regards
