Elevated Liver Enzymes And Weight
Posted: 04-16-04 11:41am

Hi...I recently found out that I have an elevation of my liver enzymes. I had a baby 1 yr ago, I am 34 and I have been having a real hard time losing the weight. I have always had to work hard to be fit and right now, I am at my heaviest ever. I have noticed that my upper stomach is always so bloated. I feel very full after a meal and very uncomfortable. My levels are not too bad, but bad enough for me. The liver ultrasound showed a hemangioma, but not totally confirmed until the results of a pending cat scan. I have been trying to work out and lose this weight. I just started a serious routine and I am praying for results. I wondered if the two are connected in any way. Can a liver problem cause weight loss to be difficult? I am also taking zoloft and I know that does slow metabolism a bit. I have been on it for 4 yrs now and I have always been able to get fit when I worked at it. This time it is not so easy. I know my age has something to do with it also. Can anyone offer any opinion or advice on this?
Desperately hoping...Slaske
