I was set to get my sleeve this Tuesday, May 13th when my blood work on friday showed that my liver levels were up since the last blood work in Jan. The anesthesiologist wouldn't "OK" me for surgery and the surgeon wanted to go ahead. Long story short...I've been prepping for a month of my May 13th surgery only to be denied 4 days before. I am SO disappointed and want to give up completely. This has been such a long journey since Aug 2013.

This happen to anyone? Should I be concerned?

. This surgery is no joke so if there is any concern for your liver be glad they made you wait. You want everything to be in as good as shape as possible. Get a 2nd opinion on liver and keep your surgeon in the loop. It's possible you have something going on- or not. Better to be safe then sorry. I'm 4 weeks post op and every other day I feel something here or there and petrified it's my liver or my stomach or kidney. This surgery and the recovery can do a number on you/ u don't want liver issues on top of it. You will get the surgery when your body and everything else is meant to. Don't give up- so much you have done already.

Remember it's your liver that breaks down poisons and toxins in your blood stream, like anesthetic drugs!! Liver problems + anesthesia is no joke.

you need to find out why your enzymes are elevated. once you treat that, you can move forward with surgery.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
