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.

We're you able to get this sorted out right now I have an elevated ALT and Fatty liver I wonder if that won't make me a candidate for surgery

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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