Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @jl42. I think your search is great to fully understand what fatty liver is and know what may be occurring in your body.

I moved your post here where others have shared about fatty liver so you can talk with members such as @rosemarya @bettersleep68 @rozy288 @riflemanz64 and others about their experiences with or knowledge of fatty liver.

When is your specialist appointment? Have you noticed any symptoms thus far?
