What’s the leading cause of chronic liver failure in 2021? . Would you be surprised if I told you it is not hepatitis B or C? This is usually the most common answer. Next you might guess alcohol consumption, but that’s not it either! . Would you be shocked if I told you it was something modifiable?... . Take a look at the size of the liver on the monitor, that is the left lobe of the liver. In this patient it is about three times the normal size! Now can you guess what the answer is? . It’s obesity! Obesity is the leading cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which is the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States. .

Fact or fiction: you can shrink your stomach with diet and exercise?

People are always so focused on what the scale says. The scale will vary depending on a lot of different variables. If you are following the recommendations and can honestly say you are doing the right things then the change in the scale will happen as well... in time. Don’t ever be discouraged by the readings on a scale. Follow the plan and keep grinding.

Once you decide you want to make the change, there is nothing that can stop you. It takes hard work and dedication, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that IT IS possible! .

What makes bariatric surgery different from just diet and exercise alone?

People ask all the time if there is a way to fix a hernia without surgery? I feel like seeing an actual hernia gives you a better idea about the answer. There is actually no way to fix a hernia without surgery, a hernia is essentially a hole in the abdominal wall. No herbal tea can patch a hole, no matter what the label may say . . . .... . . . . . . #hernia #herniasurgery #herniasurgeon #herniasurgeonla #anatomy #surgery #surgeon #medstudent #surgeryresident #nurse #healthcare #pa #medicine #md #doctor See more

We’ll get through this together #survivor . There is nothing more powerful than the mind. A positive attitude sometimes makes all the difference.
