So I had my 2 week follow up yesterday with my surgeon . Liver biopsy showed cirrhosis from fatty liver disease. So totally unexpected . Now in shock . Anyone else going thru this? I am having a very hard time with this news.

that sucks, but the good news is that you had the surgery that can help fix this situation. The liver is an amazing thing, it can and will regenerate healthy tissue. you just need to do your part, which is making sure to optimize your weight loss while you are in the prime time to do so. My girlfriend had gastric bypass because she had cirrhosis, and now 3 years out she has no signs of any liver damage. you can do this! get moving! :)

good luck!

What was your doctor's recommendation for this? Did he give you specific guidelines? Thank goodness you had surgery when you did! Your weight loss will surely help to relieve the pressure from your liver!

I am glad you found out the problem. If you hadn't had the surgery and the follow-up, you wouldn't have found out. I am sorry you are having to go through this - my prayers are with you. What Sassygirl said about her girlfriend is great to hear, you may have the same positive results.

Best of luck to you.

Sharon

He told me the surgery was the best thing I could have done . Have to keep a close eye on it. Diet will be even stricter.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
