I'm almost 5 mos post-op (Open RNY-Distal) & just had bloodwork done...

...for the first time since before surgery. I was told everything was normal except my "liver enzymes are elevated." I had bloodwork done before surgery so obviously I didn't have this problem when I was pre-op. Is this a common occurence after having WLS? My PCP's ordered a "hepatitis profile & a liver function test." Should I be worried? I do sometimes @ night have a glass or two of red wine, but not every night. Could that have something to do w/ this? I always thought drinking wine in moderation was good for your heart, etc. I will limit that more but I've heard about other post-op's having wine once in a while w/ no problems. Thanks for your help... Jamie|WLS: 10/09/02|-72 lbs.
