info on liver....and weight loss
Hi all,
I am in florida like I posted last time..... dog(s) and house sitting. As I had posted previously, my son in law had a liver transplant. He also had gastric by pass in 2003. My daughter just told me that a team of surgeons had a meeting about him and one of the things that were discussed was fast weight loss and liver disease. It seems that if you lose weight too fast, it puts a big strain on the liver. Something about if you have a fatty liver which I belive we all do, the liver tries to hang on to the fat and acts up...I will find out more when she comes home today from the hospital. This is not good. So to all of you including me, don't be upset if you dont lose fast enough. Losing slowly is the best for the liver and probably the entire body itself. Also, many medications have drastic side effects that will damage the liver. Check your meds..as my son in law was on one that had severe effects on the liver but his pcp never bothered to read the effects. I can't say enough about liver disease, because its so devestating.
