Has anyone been required to do a liver CT? Why would the dr’s want one from you? I havn’t heard anyone needing one and am kinda starting to freak out about it.

They may just be wanting to see if you have a fatty liver, which most overweight/obese patients have. When one does have a fatty liver, a diet, whether low carb low calorie, or liquid diet, may be in order.

Most doctors just put patients on diets, but again your doctor may be wanting to know for sure to eliminate diets if not necessary. I cannot speak for the doctor however, this is just an assumption.

What I am worried about is I asked this question on the local support board I follow through my insurance and they didn't know what I was talking about. I'm going to one of my classes tomorrow, so hopefully I will get more answers then. But in the mean time, I will drive myself crazy with Dr. Google :P

Ct scan? I had to have an ultrasound. There were spots on my liver so I had to have a MRI done.

I have my CT in the morning. When I sent a message to my provider, she just stated that there was some vague findings on my previous imaging studies."

I’m pretty sure that it will be just a fatty liver, and refuse to let myself psych myself out until I hear any different. Now, until I do hear from them, I think I will put myself on a more restrictive diet. Thinking about doing 2 shakes a day with a small meal and a couple Snacks. I think this will only prepare me for the almost all liquid diet that they will put me on.

Hey babyblues, I went in for my ultrasound and they found something on my kidney and required a CT to see what it was. For nearly a week I made myself crazy on google, I was already scared about the What IF's. I am thankful that it was nothing but swelling on the kidney and it was benign. I honestly didnt want anything to hinder my Sleeve, crazy huh. I will pray all is well with you and nothing is abnormal with your CT, please let me know what happens!

I know this is old but, can you tell me what the spots on your liver was? I went in to be sleeved on the 20th of march and when I was opened up in the OR my liver was full of spots... They are going to do a liver biopsy and still waiting on pathology results...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
