SleevedmissO reacted to Crick in Elevated liver enzymes after sleeve?I haven’t had my second set of bloodwork results yet, but when I did my first ones (about 3.5/4 months post-op), my liver enzyme values were really high. The clinic wasn’t the least bit worried. They told me that with the sleeve, the first bloodwork typically has really weird liver values but it usually levels off after the first few months.

SleevedmissO reacted to catwoman7 in Elevated liver enzymes after sleeve?I know this wasn't directed at me, but the original post was from six years ago, so not sure if the person is still active on the board or not. But I just wanted to say that high liver enzymes are not uncommon after bariatric surgery. Rapid weight loss can be tough on livers. My enzymes were high for the first year or so - after that, they went back down to normal. My PCP at the time didn't know this and thought I had "fatty liver" - but I checked around on the internet and on bariatric boards and found that this is actually fairly common. And mine DID go back to normal once my weight loss slowed down (she had them checked again at that point --- normal).
