The liver is very enlarged, the surgeon has to use a tool to lift up the liver to be able to maneuver around to do the sleeve. It's safer the smaller we can possibly get our livers. I guess they get fatty from all the fat we consume? I'm not quite sure why it gets enlarged.

It becomes less fatty, therefore easier to operate around.
