Hi all, well, I didn't get to have my surgery today because my PCP requested that it be put on hold due to abnormal blood results. But, at least I know what is now going on..I spoke w/my PCP today, and he said according to the blood tests from last week, it shows my liver enzymes were elevated. So, he had me come in today for more blood work, and tomorrow I have to have a CT scan on my abdomen. He says my surgeon doesn't think it is from the liquid diet I have been on, so my PCP wants to be thorough. He thinks maybe it could be weight related. I spoke w/my brother today, and he says that elevated liver enzymes run on our mom's side of the family, and he had the same problem...(?????) soooo.....I'm more nervous about this than the surgery.. can you believe that?? LOL...Well, I will keep you all posted on everything! Thanks for the support everyone! I luv ya!!

Take heart, Betty, you have a good doctor. Don't worry cause a small elevation is normal for someone overweight due to a fatty liver. More-than-likely, they will check you and everything will proceed. I have my blood draw on thursday and it will probably be the same thing for me. Take care! Kim
