Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I have no been DX yet with Pancrreatitis but have allot of things going on and so fourth and have learned allot from this group. I have been told I have a fatty liver from my ultrasound but on my CT says it is normal, go figure but anyways. They say my liver is 21.5 cm and I think normal is 13 if I am correct. Well anyways, this whole thing with the fatty liver has be worried and I am not sure if this is normal for a obese person to have a fatty liver. My weight is 320 and I am 6 feet tall, the Dr says I need to lose weight and I know that but I wonder is my liver a serious problem, will I have liver failure due to my liver being so enlarged cause of my weight or is this just something I live with. I tried to talk to some other Dr's cause my dr is on vacation and they will not tell me nothing. I told them that my ALT and things where normal and I was tested for Hep c and so fourth and that was all normal. So I am not sure what to think and I guess I got my mind wondering cause I just read in the paper where I live that some lady that is 36 years old just died from liver failure, but not sure how long she had it or anything about her circumstance at all. I just wish I could get answers from these Dr's but they will not tell me crap. Well I guess I have complained enough for now about the medical Dr's and not knowing anything, if anyone can relate or feel they can answer what I have to ask, please do so. I love to have some input on this fatty liver in all. I know I need to lose weight and I am trying but not having no luck, also I thought about have the surgery done but not hearing much on that either. Thanks all and Hugs ! Ralph S.
