Were they up prior to surgery? It goes hand in hand with fatty liver. Mine have returned to normal just months after surgery. They will probably do an ultrasound to confirm. Hope it's all ok.

Are you still taking pain meds or Tylenol? Any other meds like lipitor? It's possible it's just a normal reaction post-op. I think it could also be from not getting enough Protein. Hope it resolves soon.

I have not had any issues with my liver before surgery. I have not took any pain meds , Tylenol or Lipitor or anything like that. I just take my Vitamins and I do get enough of my Protein in. I still have my gallbladder. Just wondering what the dr will do when I go back tomorrow. I am so worry!

How is he defining "highly elevated"? Mine are at least double the normal range at my 3 month bloodwork and neither my surgeon nor my primary were concerned at this point. I did some research and found some studies that indicated particularly in women it is not unusual for liver panels to initially go up before coming down with rapid weight loss.

Your doctor may order some more specific tests to rule a few things out but I wouldn't worry at this point.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
