Is Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Reversible?

Hello, awhile back I was diagnosed with a fatty liver. I had a lapband surgery, and now after a blood test, my DR. sent me in to a Gastroligist. I am getting a Ultrasound next week, since I got the news, I have been eating raw vegetables, and exercising regularly. I am so scared. I am not lazy, and I will do anything to try and reverse it. Is Nash reversible also?

Well NASH might be reversible. So if you have overweight , then there is a risk of developing NASH. So the cure is to lose weight.

There are even studies which suggest that weight loss surgery will benefit the "cure" of NASH.

So losing weight can help reverse it and make your liver back normal;

hope this helped.
