Hi I had a first appointment with my consultant who said there were some liver conditions which would make me not suitable for gastric bypass. Does anyone know what these are please?

I don't know for sure, but maybe Google? Or talk to your consultant again!

What conditions do you have? Who diagnosed them? Your doctor should be able to help you better understand why you would not be a candidate.

I had some blood tests and my liver results were raised. He's arranging for an ultrasound but I was wondering what he would be looking for. I'll just have to be a patient patient! I'm so keen to get this done.

Many of us have a fatty liver. That's why they usually have people do a pre-op diet. Depending on your situation - they may have you get an ultrasound or further testing. It'll be important for you to stick to pre-op diet. Good luck.

Other meds you take can screw with your liver enzymes. Hell- chemo for the RA gave me the liver of an alcoholic without even drinking.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
