CT SCAN OF MY LIVER
Apr 18, 2010
Dr. Birch (WW Surgeon) said that some people (especially super obese people (ME) and people with a large amount of belly fat (ME)) can have extremely large, fatty livers. During surgery they move the liver to the side (to work on the stomach) and when the liver is extremely large and or fatty it can crack and bleed. This can cause the surgery time to go from 1.5 hours up to 4-5 hours or they can not even do the surgery. :( So they would like to know the size of my liver before surgery.I love that they are taking the time to do the pre test and helping me to shrink my liver. I find everyone at the clinic to be so kind and informative.
Once I have the scan I will let you guys know how things go.
