Liver Function Tests

I had my one-year labs last month and my surgeon tells me that my lft's were slightly elevated. He thinks it is probably fatty liver, but wants me to have my pcp check it out. I have an appointment with her on Friday. I've been reading up on fatty liver on the internet since I talked to him last week. It seems one thing that can cause it is gastric bypass surgery. From what I've read, fatty liver in itself isn't dangerous, but if it becomes inflamed it can lead to problems. Has anyone had this happen to them since they had surgery? There doesn't seem to be much in the way of treatment for it except maybe losing weight (which got me this way in the first place). I'd be interested in hearing from others who've had this happen to them and what their doctors did about it. Cathy G.

i'm going through this right now...and my pcp sent me to a gastroenterologist today as a matter of fact. he is running more blood tests and is having a liver biopsy done on me on march 29th. he said that's the best way to find out what's wrong. if i is just fatty liver than it can be reversed. anything else may not be able to be fixed as easily if at all. he basically told me we don't have time to waste on this. so we're moving ahead as quickly as possible. he did say that it all probability it's just fatty liver but we need to make sure.

That's more or less what I was thinking is going to happen when I see my pcp later this week. Thanks for the info. Cathy G.
