Re: ON THE OTHER SIDE-MICHIGAN

[Guest guest]

Sherry, A lot of heavy people have a fatty liver. Some of those people get

what is called NASH-nonalcholic steatal hepatitis. Which means not caused by

alchol , fatty inflamed liver. I think only 20% of people with fatty liver

get NASH. losing weight can help reduce the fattiness of the liver. In

persons with NASH, rapid weight loss can worsen it. I have NASH and just got

the go ahead for surgery. I think a few months of rapid weight loss will not

harm me irrevocably. I had to have a Hepatologist give me the go ahead before

DR. R would do a MGB on me, he was worried about causing great damage. It may

cause some but I feel the advantages out weight the disadvantages.(Lossing

weight reduces fattiness in livers long term). My liver emzmes were up for

several months. I had a liver biopsy to find this out. He may shorten the

number of feet, I'm not sure yet, but that would be ok with me ,I don't want

to suffer with long term problems with vitaim deficiencies. I think you can

loss the weight it may take alittle more work.

,

So glad you are doing great. Good for you!

My PCP thinks I have a fatty liver. I wasn't aware that could

decrease the amount bypassed. If Dr. R does not bypass as much, and

your weight loss is slowed, ultimately WILL YOU LOSE THE SAME WEIGHT

AS SOMEONE WHO HAD THE " LONGER BYPASS VERSION " ? I am very concerned

about this. I want to lose 100 pounds or more...... How can I get

my liver " unfatty " quickly? lol

Hope all continues to go well for you.

If anyone else has any info on this, please let me know.
