I know it is hard not to worry, but I wouldn't. Most obese people have a fatty liver. I have one. Weight loss surgery will take care of it. I wouldn't worry about it being NASH. More than likely it is just a fatty liver. I will be saying prayers for you.

I am so excited.......and nervous!

great advice, thanks!  i go in on te 24th

Tomorrow is my big day too! I feel the same way. Good luck to you...

I am in the exact same boat. They will be taking a liver biopsy tomorrow during my surgery. My liver enzymes were elevated in my pre-op testing and they sent me to a gastroenterologist. I have had blood tests to rule stuff out, like Hep A B & C and other stuff, and he thinks that it is related to my weight.

They way he explained it to me is that when liver cells die, they release their contents into the blood stream, raising the liver enzymes that are detected in blood tests. Your liver generates new cells, so this is an ongoing cycle. Losing weight will help with this. I have gone through the exact same fears that you are going through, and am still going through them since there was no definite answer. I will going for a follow up with the liver doc in 5 weeks.

I know it is hard not to be scared out of your mind, my suggestion to you is to learn as much as possible about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In my mind, one can never be to informed. Then just relax. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it, that you aren't already doing. Please feel free to pm me if you want to talk.
