Hi! I love my internist, so it s just curiousity on my part to get a little faster answer than waiting a month. So, this is not an emergency or questioning him, I m just impatient. LOL He asked me today if I had a gallbladder and mine has been gone for 19 years. He asked if I was sure. I had enough stones it almost killed me, so I remember it being removed! He said my liver panel was showing numbers he was concerned about that usually meant stones in a gallbladder. He is checking my blood levels for zinc, copper, etc because I have been having issues there. He said he wants me to have an ultrasound (yes, my liver area hurts) and check numbers again in a month, maybe include a Hep test. I had my first tattoo last November at a VERY clean and certified office, and I don t think it could show up that fast, anyway. Just curious. What kind of things could all this be? I have also not been able to eat and have lost 12 pounds in two months.
