Liver problems

Hi I had a first appointment with my consultant who said there were some liver conditions which would make me not suitable for gastric bypass. Does anyone know what these are please?

    I don't know for sure, but maybe Google? Or talk to your consultant again!

    What conditions do you have? Who diagnosed them? Your doctor should be able to help you better understand why you would not be a candidate.

    I had some blood tests and my liver results were raised. He's arranging for an ultrasound but I was wondering what he would be looking for. I'll just have to be a patient patient! I'm so keen to get this done.

    Many of us have a fatty liver. That's why they usually have people do a pre-op diet. Depending on your situation - they may have you get an ultrasound or further testing. It'll be important for you to stick to pre-op diet. Good luck.

    Other meds you take can screw with your liver enzymes. Hell- chemo for the RA gave me the liver of an alcoholic without even drinking.
