Elevated Liver Enzymes

[pinkbunies 359]

I went to the Doctor last week and had blood test done. My Doctor isn't a fan of any weight loss surgery.

Anyway the blood tests came back and the Doctor said I had elevated liver enzymes. My doctor told me to stop taking adderall. I also found out my Testosterone was low but the Dr. said not T until 2 weeks and new blood tests.

I've been working out three days a week with a personal trainer and sometimes I struggle to get in enough calories.

Anyway, has anyone had an issue similar to this after being sleeved?

The elevations can have multiple causes. My dad has very high levels but he is alcoholic and his liver si finally showing signs of failure.

Mine were high before being sleeved and combines with two other tests doc said I was becoming prediabetic.

You also said you've been working out with a. Trainer. It could be you have damaged some muscles and you enzymes are high due to that.

Here are some ideas

Remember that the liver is the body filter. He is removing the medication because it may be too much for your smaller body.

I know, I'm hoping that all is okay. I find it hard to focus without taking my ADHD medication.

I just got my blood work back this week and it showed the same thing. The doctor doesn't think its my meds because my meds haven't changed since my last blood test (which didn't show elevated enzymes). She thinks it is due to the stress from weight loss/surgery, although my surgery was a year ago. I did lose my weight quite quickly (140 pounds in 7 months). It also could be due to the fact that I was recovering from strep throat and an ear infection. I started taking Garcinia Cambogia (sp?) last month to help me out in maintenance, so maybe that is what caused it. Who knows?

It also showed that my thyroid is even lower than it was 6 months ago. So, my hypothyroidism has worsened despite losing 150 pounds. All my Vitamins and minerals were in the normal range, thank goodness. I've taken the Pro Care One-a-Day bariatric Vitamin daily for the past year. Alex posted some info. regarding this particular Vitamin because it was tested to show that the label information was incorrect. Well, according to my recent blood work, it must be working for me.

I had an ultra sound today to check for stones. The lady said she didn't see any. She also checked my gall bladder but when I asked her how that looked she said "The Doctor would discuss it with you". So that may be hinting that something is wrong with my Gall Bladder.

I have a BCBS Gold Health Insurance Plan with a zero deductible and my plan is being canceled Jan 01, 2016 because BCBS is no longer offering it. So I'm hoping that if I have to have my gall baldder removed that insurance will cover it and it'll be before the end of the year.

I've upped my personal training to 5 days a week and I'm gaining muscle fast. I am hoping that the medication isn't the problem but I'd take it over the other causes.

If your doctor isn't a fan of weight loss surgery, find a new one. You are going to have nothing but issues with this doctor forever. Everything he tells you is going to be tainted by the fact you had surgery and he isn't a fan of it. The fact he told you he isn't a fan is sign enough.
