I was sleeved on 4/27. Also had hernia repair. This week the surgeon's office called to tell me that they took a biopsy of my liver at time of the surgery and it came back I have mild steatosis, fatty liver. While the person who called said this is common with overweight people and often improves with weight loss, they wanted to refer me to a specialist . I'm wondering if it is necessary or it will hurt any for me to just wait until I've dropped some weight. Anyone else had this experience?

LMJ....We were sleeved on the same day and I also had to have a hernia repaired. My doctor did not say anything about a fatty liver, I probably also have one. I would follow the advice of your doctor and get it checked out. More than likely they will just keep an eye on you over time.

You have lost a lot more weight then I have....great job!

I JUST got a call from my doc (PCP) with test results from an ultrasound that shows a fatty liver. Imagine my surprise! I was sleeved 7/14/15 and am down 70+ lbs!

Going to see my surgeon and a GI specialist. Stay tuned.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
