Fatty Liver Pain Sucks!

[bookworm1983 28]

I had pain from my fatty liver diseae for years but it has gotten much more frequent and more painful since my surgery. I visited my surgeron today and they did a CT and blood work. Everything came back normal so I got, "Just keep following the diet and we will see you at your five week follow up appointent." Has anyone else dealt with this? How did you cope with the pain? It is horrible and it makes it hard to function day-to-day.

Fatty liver disease doesn't typically cause pain unless it has progressed to cirrhosis. If you think the pain is from your liver, do you have a heptologist you see? I would make an appointment with that doctor and check in. Your bariatric surgeon probably isn't as knowledgeable in that area and this could be dangerous if it's progressing to cirrhosis.

Could it possibly be gall bladder pain?

No gallbladder and no appendix. I have not seen a specialist but that is something that I will look into. Thanks!

Did you have a sleeve or RnY? Could you a still have some gastritis in the stomach you have left?
