I am having the Sleeve surgery in either July or August. I have a fatty liver that looks like I've been drinking for years. I don't drink at all. Will having the sleeve help with the fatty liver?
I don't have a lot of information, but I would think so. The pre-op diet reduces the fatty liver short term. It makes sense that weight loss would further aid in this. I'm sure irreversible damage can be done if morbidly obese or a high fat diet. I'm not a medical professional though. Anyone?
When I had my surgery my surgeon said I have some degree of cirrhosis and that I will need to see a liver specialist. He said around 4 months after surgery so I could heal up which I hope means it’s not horrible stage. Though he did say that this surgery will help slow the process and I have heard fatty liver can be reversed.
