Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Rabkin does a liver biopsy and an appendectomy " for no additional charge " . I think the liver biopsy is because obesity often leads to fatty liver and, as long as he's poking around in there, he might as well do a check. -m > Liver biopsies?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 I had a biopsy done because of my fatty liver and high hdl, and an appendectomy too. My insurance was billed for the biopsy but not the appy. Teri > > Liver biopsies?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 > one has to be very committed to protein intake and liver biopsies DSers have an easier time getting in their required protein than RNYers because we have larger stomachs and no problems eating meat and chicken, etc. We don't get bezoars or stoma blockages. I have never taken a protein supplement and my protein was in the normal range at my 6 month check up. This was the first I have ever heard about a liver biopsy. My doc did not do one. 7 mos. post -97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
