Bert,

I am sorry I am just getting to your post. I am forever behind, it seems. You

are NOT a wimp! Good grief, you just went through a VERY major surgery and may

now be facing complications. Please, please do not put off going to the doctor.

It is possible that you may have something that can be corrected with a

relatively simple surgery (not that any surgery is fun). I know it is hard to

remain optimistic with all you have been through, but please try. The one thing

I do know about liver problems is that the sooner addressed the better. When

your liver enzymes (AST/ALT) are elevated it simply means that your liver cells

are dying at a rate faster than they should be dying at that time. While your

enzymes are certainly high enough to warrant attention, they are not high enough

to evoke panic. You are right that an alk phos as high as yours does point to a

bile duct obstruction, but that may or may not be the case. As for the AST/ALT,

sometimes just pain meds, tylenol, or antibiotics can temporarily elevate your

liver enzymes. Not trying to make light of your situation, just trying to offer

some possibilities that may not be so bleak.

Please take care and keep us posted.
