Have anyone one of you, been diagnosed with a fatty liver? I read that rapid weight loss makes it worse. Having surgery at the end of April and just worried about this whole fatty liver thing! Also has a fatty liver ever caused a surgery to be cancelled? Any insight would be wonderful!! Thanks

I have been diagnosed with a fatty liver, well, fat deposits or something like that. I was told that losing weight makes it better.

Most overweight people have fatty livers. That's why some drs insist on pre-op diets...others adjust their operating tech to ensure the liver is out of the way.

fatty liver is one of he reasons someone might do this type of surgery, so i'm sure it wont stop you.

I have autoimmune liver disease so i'm followed closely by a specialist. He told me that after surgery i will have to be followed closely after surgery because in some patients, fatty liver does develop (of increase) in teh period after surgery. I guess the fat is being metabolised in the liver instead of sugars so it may take a while to adjust to it. a careful watch of LFT on your blood results is the fix.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
