I was set to get my sleeve this Tuesday, May 13th when my blood work on friday showed that my liver levels were up since the last blood work in Jan. The anesthesiologist wouldn't "OK" me for surgery and the surgeon wanted to go ahead. Long story short...I've been prepping for a month of my May 13th surgery only to be denied 4 days before. I am SO disappointed and want to give up completely. This has been such a long journey since Aug 2013.

This happen to anyone? Should I be concerned?

. This surgery is no joke so if there is any concern for your liver be glad they made you wait. You want everything to be in as good as shape as possible. Get a 2nd opinion on liver and keep your surgeon in the loop. It's possible you have something going on- or not. Better to be safe then sorry. I'm 4 weeks post op and every other day I feel something here or there and petrified it's my liver or my stomach or kidney. This surgery and the recovery can do a number on you/ u don't want liver issues on top of it. You will get the surgery when your body and everything else is meant to. Don't give up- so much you have done already.

Remember it's your liver that breaks down poisons and toxins in your blood stream, like anesthetic drugs!! Liver problems + anesthesia is no joke.

I agree it's no joke maybe it's a sign not to go forward. I hate to say that but go with you gut! Prayers to you

you need to find out why your enzymes are elevated. once you treat that, you can move forward with surgery.

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