worried

[France19]

Hello Im new to this group, I was diagnosed with NAFLD in March 2023 after an appointment for weight loss it seems it showed up in a blood test and a scan. I was then sent for a fibro scan. I had this and the technician said my ribs were fused and she could only get 5 readings instead of 10 to get a true picture. Im now waiting for a biopsy but.. nobody has spoken to me about liver, my GP wont give me an appointment. Im so worried and relying on the internet for advice re diet etc. any advice is welcome. I have lost just over 1 stone since May due to cutting out and down what Iv read on the internet. Thank you

hi there

Fantastic weight loss, congratulations! You are doing everything right to help yourself. If you are worried give the liver nurses a call and chat. They can give you informed advice and reassurance.

Keep on to the GP is the best you can do, I know how hard it is to even get a reply. Point out that you are willing and committed to helping yourself - as shown by your progress - and you need them to be on your side and help you help yourself.

Keep up the great work!
