Hey Jessica,
I was put on prograf as my antirejection and that can be given sublingual. The rest of them are IV initially. Once you are able to eat and drink again, you will switch to pill form of your meds. They checked my med levels every morning and adjusted the dose almost every day. It takes a while to get the dose right, in fact my dose still changes frequently.
As for getting a dose prior to surgery, I am not sure if I got any. I was only at the hosptial an 1.5 hours before my surgery and I was only in a room long enough to sign consent forms and have my blood drawn. It is possible I got some after I was sedated.

I was given one mg of prograf sublingual as I was being wheeled down to the preop area. I was on IV meds until I was able to eat things - so within about a day I was taking some medications by mouth. Within a few days I was taking all of my current meds - plus some others by mouth. I was hooked to IVs for abx to control any possible infections and that was it.
I also had my meds changed rather frequently and my doses were also checked every morning. It takes several months for things to be evened out. I am on a large dose of prograf now and the dose has to be adjusted down or up slightly about every 6 months or so and I am 2 years post.

I was not given any form of antirejection meds before I went in for transplant but I don't know if they gave me any after they put me under.
I was on the IV form of the meds until I could swallow pills again, which was roughly 3-5 days. I was on very high doses of Prograf when I first started out, but it was always changing. I am now almost 3 years out and I take 3mg Prograf in the AM and 2mg in the PM.
