In my preop labwork my liver function was high. Ultrasound shows some fatty liver but also something else. I'm told a cyst, hemangioma or cancer.

Now I'm getting an MRI next week to determine if I need a biopsy. I'm scared to death. Trying to stay positive but I don't even want to pursue my sleeve surgery until I know what's on my liver.

I was supposed to get my surgery date this week I go in Thursday am and I don't know if I will keep my appointment. I was so sad this weekend thinking of everything. Now that it's happening this bump in the road....I'm a single mom who put off WLS because of the risks and scared of surgery complications.. My son deserves better. Finally put my mind to it and now I'm just a wreck!

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28. Keep the Faith, nothing is too big for God!

I am so sorry you are going through this. It is indeed a scary place to be. But I don't think you should totally give up on your WLS plans before you know your diagnosis. It won't hurt to go to your appointment and discuss your situation.

I am sending you healing thoughts.

I had an MRI today. I already got an email from the Dr. Saying that I need another one a different kind. I'm still scared but my surgery for sleeve is set For Oct 2. I have one last appointment with my surgeon and a POST OP nutrition class the same day. I pray the liver thing is nothing . I waited so long for WLS and to be healthy ... will know more after next MRI test I guess. Hope it's soon.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
