Liver test results and severe anxiety

Just to update everyone i had my follow up appointment for my anxiety meds which i said earlier that I already quit so im not sure why I even went lol but anyways it gave me a chance to discuss this liver situation. He got a kick out of the fact that 3 days after I thought I was having a heart attack that I was already back at it and realized I was having sexual side effects from the Lexapro. It was all in good fun though he took it seriously but still tried to joke with me. Turns out he is fairly confident I just have a fatty liver and explained what numbers meant what and where we could go from here. He was unaware that I had a ridiculous deductible. I buy the cheapest insurance option because I rarely go to the doctor. Its a 5000 dollar deductible that doesnt pay a penny until I hit it. Then it pays 100 percent from there. He said the liver test he wanted would easily meet my deductible but knew it wasnt realistic for me to pay that at this time and he didnt feel my numbers were important enough to drive into for that price at this time. For now he wants me to diet for a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks maybe longer then recheck my labs. The local hospital is doing 25 dollar lab work in my May and July. With the option to add more things for an additional price butnits still resonable its only 10 more for each of the option so on the discount months I'll be getting a basic lab workup again and he wants me to add the a1c test and something about iron. The iron test has a couple other things that I dont know but i think it says u1c or something like that. He did feel around on my stomach and said "you dont have an enlarged liver i can tell you that" So this is where we are it with this situation. Ill be sure to update everyone.

@nlucas123 Hey Congratulations ! Cool,cool. Sounds fantastic on every front ! p.s. I have talked to folks and that deductible seems high to you but a lot of folks have stuff like that. Mine and wife's is better but my Moms is a lot worse. Hers never pays 100% even after hitting her deductible. The good news for you is 100% covered after the 5 k so you are protected.
Have a great week. (---:
