OK so I lost 120 # but yet my ultra sound the other day claims I have a fatty liver. Lose it on the outside gain it in the inside? What does this mean? What do I need to do now? I am going next week for fasting lab work. That's all I know, any info? Anyone else have this? Also the US claims my gallbladder is ok, I'm not so sure about that, should I have the function of it checked??

This has been the best decision besides marriage and kids that I have ever made!!

A fatty liver can develop after rapid weight loss. I don't know what your Dr will suggest as far as treating it and hoping to prevent damage to your liver. I did a little googling and treatment suggestions were things like healthy diet, no alcohol, losing weight slowly, managing diabetes or high blood pressure if you have any of those things.

Good luck, I hope you see your Dr soon to make a game plan on how to help your fatty liver!
