hi first time post on this group, so bit of history

diagnosed with pernicious anaemia in 2006 after years of going gp tiredness etc.

diagnosed jan 2021 with gallstones ( 1 l9mm) and n.a.f.l.d

gp has referred me to upper gi surgeons dont really want surgery if i can help so looking for any help

i did put weight on due to covid and giving up smoking few months before covid, am back to pre non smoking weight but would like to lose a little bit more. For years i always felt if husband put his arm across stomach it was achy wondering if start of fatty liver?

i do also get like heat radiating from myself, mainly back area put it down to menopausal but, last period was like 6 yrs ago snusure if related to gallstones or liver

liver blood tests over the years have been ok apart for ggt, always over the range by less than double,cholesterol came back high the last time they got checked

any ideas? Thanks so much
