liver disease after gastric bypass

[Guest guest]

Good morning.

There was a recent article published on liver disease following

rapid weight loss. I was curious (I am asking for a fellow RD who works in

liver transplant at my hospital) to know if any of you know of any incidence of

liver disease following gastric bypass.

I would appreciate any feedback you might be able to offer.

Thank you.

I would like to read this as well. When I

was still working as an inpatient dietitian I had a patient

that was s/p RNY or BPD w/ DS (too long

ago to remember) and ended up passing away from

liver failure. He did not have a h/o

hepatitis or alcohol abuse or autoimmune hepatitis, etc.

I always wondered if the liver failure

happened from the very rapid weight loss and he was 600-700# to start

with.

Are you sure this person wasn't a post jejeuno-ileal bypass(common in

the 70's & 80's). Liver disease/ failure was common & is the reason

that the JIB weight loss surgery is not done anymore.

Many bariatric and obese pts have fatty livers & may have some

sclerotic tissue, not as a result of the surgery itself. Does the

article you mention discuss something different?
