diffusely increased echotexture with fatty infiltration

sounds kinda scary and I'm not to sure what it really means i just know that the doctor said it could turn into curosis then cancer but first hepatitis, the ultra sound shows that my liver is 22.3 cm . and it should only be 7-9cms. they say that i got it from pain meds.for the fibro> she said there is no cure. should i be scared, i was at first but i try not to worry so much. the dr. said it will rush my surgery so that's the only benefit i get out of it.    

 i dint know what to do anymore for pain i cant even have Tylenol any more!

I'm sure no doc but what it sounds like he's saying is fatty liver and anyone obese has a fatty liver, that's why they have us do a liver shrinking diet pre-op. I know tylenol can cause kidney and liver damage but it takes huge doses to do so. I haven't heard of other narcotic or antidepressant pain meds causing it tho. You should really have him explain exactly what it is and what the prognosis is in reality so you don't stress more than you have to. It could just be a big name for northing, I hope so anyway!

yeah i guesse it is from being obese because i never took that much medication for it to be because of that. radiologist says my liver should be between 7-9cm. but it is 22.3cm. which is really big i to hope that its nothing more than the weight and WLS will so its thing.  thanks for your comment.

Hoping the best for you. Good that it will speed up the wls, that is always good. I didn't do anything to reduce my liver before my op. They had someone cancel out so they kind of rushed me to take the place, I had most all of my pretests done and so I was the only one who could take the spot, I was so glad. Best of luck.

thank's. i hope that it will because i have my apt. with the doc on tuesda y and i am ready i have all my pre-op tests u can think of i even had a dream i was going into surgey last night weirdest thing in my dream i was on my way into the operating room smoking a cigerate. i dont even smoke wierd. well any how wish u luck with ur WL and getting settled oh yeah  with ur mom to i know what u mean. god bless!

Fatty liver is common for us before surgery. Like the other poster said, we usually go on the liquid diet to shrink it before surgery.  I wouldn't worry too much about it right now.  You will see a huge difference in about six months from surgery.  It will shrink back down. 

The mind plays tricks on us before surgery and right after so just ignore it for now.  You'll do great!  Sounds like you will be on the losers bench before you know it.

thank you. yeah i hope so.  im all ready for it.  hope i hope i have it before the holidays.
i am not so worried about it anymore thanks to everyones advice and comments i realize it is more common than i thought. thank you and god bless!
