TracyS 62 Posted April 7, 2019 Well it's a good thing I had this done as apparently they found stage 4 cirrhosis due to fatty liver. It is still functioning but because of scarring it gets cut off of blood supply. Losing weight will help. Surgeon cut off fat from it. Not a good diagnosis. Thinking about taking castor oil which helps deplete scar tissue but at the same time I need scar tissue to mend stomach. Scary stuff!Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app 3 3 FancyChristine15, FluffySaysForkIt!, gabybab and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ARMoma45 353 Posted April 8, 2019 That is so scary. I did some research on fatty liver a while back when my average size 21 year old was diagnosed with it. She had been sick and I was running some blood work on her(i'm a lab tech) and found her liver enzymes through the roof. We've found that limiting red meat helps her a lot. 1 1 TracyS and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FluffyChix 17,418 Posted April 8, 2019 Work with your liver specialist and surgeon. It's gonna be so important to change your diet. You should look into IF with him with prolonged fasts. You can clear the liver of fat in about 2 days with a total fast. But it differs when there is scarring and NASH/Cirr. Also look at Dr. Valter Longo and FMD (fasting mimicking diet) and stem cell regeneration to see if it's helpful for this? Sorry to hear of both of your situations. Fasting has awesome effects, especially long term extended 3-5 days fasts. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
