Has anyone had liver enzymes elevated shortly after surgery? I have another dr that ran some blood work after the surgery and my liver enzymes more than quadrupled the maximum for normal . I'm freaking out I feel horrible and still in pain sleeved 4/22 . Sugar level normal a plus I guess... Help hope this will go away .

I had this around the time of surgery (after being in ketosis from pre-op). I was also alarmed, but it went down by my first follow up a couple of months later. It happened again when I went super Low CAL, low fat and low carb (to get holiday weight off a few months ago). (Or at least I assume my enzymes were elevated because I was incredibly itchy and a little red in the face... Which I believe are signs that one's liver is throwing enzymes). That recent time, the itching and redness resolved after I upped my daily calories from about 500 to 900 and I increased my fat intake a little bit (still keeping carbs low).

Hopefully someone who understands the precise chemistry of all this will weigh in with something a little more scientific-- I just wanted to speak up so that you would know you are not alone!

Thank you
