Is it common for an obese person to have a fatty liver?

Hi all, I was just wondering something. I am 415 lbs. Will I have to go on a diet and lose weight before the doc will do surgery? I haven't met him and have an appt. next month. I'm just kinda scared something will be wrong and I wont be able to have the surgery done. I'm just nervous i guess. Oh one more thing. I have heart palpitations and am on digoxin. Its not that bad but will that prevent me from having surgery?I have high blood pressure to.

did they open you up then find the fatty liver or what? If so why cant they find out through an x ray or test? I'm glad I found you on this thread.You give me hope. Most people don't have to lose as much weight as i so its reassuring that you are doing it. Keep up the great work .

Thank you so much for your quick response. I cant wait to have this done. I feel like Im trapped in this body and I want to be free. I weigh 415 or so and it aint working LOL.

Hi, I was curiouse to what i'll have to do before the surgery. I havent met the doc yet. It will be next mounth. I am self pay and was just wondering if there is a special diet or fast or what. Thanks

Thank you all for your replies. I to am discusted at how I let this happen. Ive always been big but since Ive been a stay at home mom with 3 boys Ive really let myself go. Its time I think of me. And my boys need me around for a long time. I(ve just failed so much in the past on diets that I just dont trust any diet or myself. I guess what I need is a little more will power and Im hoping that is what this gives me.
