@happyat76 Hello Loretta:

I know how easy it is to worry about a test and have to see a surgeon. Your concerns are very understandable!

As we are not medical professionals at Mayo Connect (just patients like you) it is hard to say what might be causing the fatty liver. Lots of us have that diagnosis. Like Gary, @gman007, said it might be a very easy surgical procedure that will help with your discomfort.

My best advice is to try not to worry. Worry generally does not make things any better (I'm speaking as one who has lots of experience in this area)! Once you have your appointment on the 10th you will have some better information about what needs to be done.

I look forward to hearing from you again!

Teresa

Teresa,what a sweetheart you are. Thanks for your thoughts and concerns for me. I am a very anxious person, suffering with depression and anxietyeveryday. I also am a terrible worrier. A lifelong habit. I am sure all this has contributed to my health problems. Plus I need to lose 50 or more pounds. I will keep in touch.

@happyat76 It will help if you take your problems one at a time. This helps with the anxiety. You are right when you say worry is a habit. I understand that from experience.

Take care and post again!
Teresa
