Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'm not sure what to say about that but you might try contacting Dr. Rutledge and ask him about it. He should be able to tell you. God Bless you. Hugs, Dr. Rutledge 5/17/06 246/238/233.5/140 high/preop/today/goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi , Sorry I cannot help, I just know that Dr. R checked my liver when he did my MGB and said it was medium, meaning I did have some fatty liver. I thought it was due to obesity. Wish you all the best. Elissa Dr. R 4/19/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 , I was diagnosed with it before my surgery, but it wasn't too bad. They said they'd watch it and each year I get blood tests. Mine was not all that extensive. So, I really don't do anything for it.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 That's odd that you didn't have it pre-op and you do now??? The reason I say this is because I remember in my post-op meeting with Dr's Rutledge and Cherry, they said I had a slight case of it but that the weight loss would cure it. That's all I know about that! Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 -Hi , I was diagnosed with it when I had my MGB. A year later, Dr. R said I had some scaring, but that it was a normal liver (when he did a revision). I have periodic liver enzyme tests, but nothing has shown up. I would bet that it is from the years of being overweight, not from the MGB and being 115 lbs.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I would get a second opinion. FATty liver disease caused by LOSING weight? Like I said... Get a second opinion, actually a double-check is in order ANY time you get a diagnosis of anything serious. My best to you. I hope it is a mistake.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi Bee and All ... I have been basically following the candida diet for more than 6 months now with some signs of improvement, I feel. I have recently sought help (due to extreme and unreasonable abdominal pain) from a colon surgeon. In his process of testing, I had a CT scan last week, which I saw the report for the first time today. The CT scan report said " Fatty Liver. " I know that that means unprocessed fat in the liver, and I've read that the cause of Fatty Liver Disease is not known. I should mention that this is non-alcohol related Fatty Liver Disease, as I do not drink alcohol. Please help set my mind at ease about continuing to eat lots of healthy saturated fat. I just need a little reassurance right now. I am not at all done with the medical testing yet, and my surgeon feels I may have a neurological problem, because he said that no colon condition, including IBS, can cause the kind of pain I've endured for years now. Thank you so much for your kind help in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
