Liver Ultrasound?
My sleep study, chest xray, blood work, ekg, psych eval has all been done and submitted to dr to final approval and then on too scheduling desk....BUT. Now the Dr. wants an ultra sound of my liver becasue my liver levels were so high? Is this typical? I assume that it's because my liver is fatty but why the ultra sound? I've never heard of someone having one. I'm kind of worried.
I had one because I had a history of elevated liver enzymes. I do have fatty liver, and it was large enough that it helped sway my decision for which surgery--I had been considering RNY, but the sleeve is an "easier" surgery fro those with giant livers. They also spotted gall stones during the ultra sound. That was useful information, and they will be removing my gall bladder during my surgery. Honestly, it doesn't hurt and could be very helpful. Good luck!
