Cholesterol Level High, Vomiting Of Yellow Bile, Fatty Liver, Gall Stones. Will Losing Weight Will Help Fatty Liver And Removing Gall Stones Necessary?
I had a blood test 4 mos. ago for cholesterol & was told my levels were so good that my doctor was surprised. He ordered a repeat in 6 mos. 3 days ago I had a abd. scan following an URQ attack of pain lasting 3 hrs. with projectile vomiting of yellow bile. The doctor's nurse called & said I have: a fatty liver- lose weight, I have gallstones & need surgery, & there is cholesterol in my aorta & need to start CLD immediately.
Okay I started to exercise 1 hr bid am & pm & a 1000 cal diet to lose weight (eliminated as many sat. fats)
Will losing weight help get rid of my fatty liver & what else can I do to help get rid of it?
When do you deem it necessary to remove gall stones? The last attack was in 2010 & this one was precipitated by eating very spicy food on holiday. Do they ever go away or decrease in size & how?
If my blood levels of cholesterol are good why do I need to go on CLD's & can't I try more holistic methods like sytrinol, watching my diet more closely, High doses of VitC & lysine?????

hello
Loosing weight is going to help in your fatty liver for sure.
you need to consult a dietician or a weight loss expert to have a proper regime and ensure that you get a balanced diet.
You are doing good in terms of watching your diet and avoiding oily and spicy food which is going to help you a lot.
having cholesterol in your aorta probably meant that you are having plaques for which you do need to start CLD.
Regarding gall stones and surgery for them one needs to assess the number and size of the gall stones along with other details like your BMI and and your scan report
And gallstones very rarely disappear by themselves.
wishing you a speedy recovery
