May 14, 200818 yr Has anyone had elevated liver function test come back on a blood test after having the lap band? Just wondering if something about losing weight quickly can cause an elevation in AST & ALT. Thanks!
May 15, 200818 yr If you have had a large weight loss recently then the liver has to process all that fat, anytime you put your liver under a strain you can get elevated liver enzymes, but as always talk to your Doctor to make sure it is not something serious. Good Luck
May 15, 200818 yr Are you on medications for pain or anything else? Many medications can cause this too.
May 15, 200818 yr Yes! But we weren't sure why. I am thrilled to know that it could be rapid weight loss. I'll talk with my doctor about that. Thanks for posting this!
