So we went to Champaign yesterday to the liver doctor. He looked at my information and was shocked they thought it was a big deal. He said your GGT levels can be increased by tons of things. He said it can go up if you fall down or bump your knee. (I figure he may be exaggerating on that) After looking at the test that had already been done he decided that it must be fat in my liver. He said that this isn't determined by the persons weight. He said a 125 pound 6 ft tall guy can have the same thing wrong with him. What is making it happen is that my liver sends out stuff to the body and keeps to much liver there. So we can do a biopsy witch he doesn't feel is worth the pain and risk from surgery or we can do the 9 blood tests and eliminate all the other stuff so we know it is fat in my liver. Basically I have to go on a serious crazy no fat diet to get rid of the fat and if in the mean time the test come back and show we have a serious problem we will know that is the problem instead of fat. The problem is the fat will create scar tissue and eventually cirrhosis of the liver if it isn't taken care of now. So I will be on a crash diet. This is going to suck so bad!! I am thrilled that it isn't a more serious problem though.
When we left we went for a "last meal" at Gross Burgers in Danville. It was awesome!! Really if you get a chance go have a gross burger. I even got a bumper sticker. :)
