Hi, No need to panic, as Liver steatosis is not a serious condition. It is called Fatty liver and is seen in radiological investigations in most of the normal patients. The problem happens only if the liver is inflammed as it can progress to a condition called cirrhosis. But, this usually happens in alcoholics. In your case as you say it is mostly due to the over weight. I suggest you to undergo Bariatric surgery, after consulting a Bariatric surgeon. It gives promising long term results in weight reduction when compared to liposuction. Your weight will be drastically reduced over a period of 6 months. Hope this might help!
