Morbidly obese. getting work up for vsg surgery and liver is enlarged but blood work ok. can obesity cause enlarged liver?

Yes.: Called a fatty liver, which in worst cases, can cause cirrhosis! obesity should be dealt with a healthy lifestyle, not bariatric surgery, which has a host of problems which I have dealt with! obesity should not go that far!

Obesity can cause it: Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) happens for many reasons. Fatty liver is one of the most common. It's frequently found in people who have diabetes or who are obese. The fatty liver can lead to health problems in some cases, and can also make performing surgery more difficult. You may be asked to change your diet prior to the obesity surgery in order to reduce liver size.

Yes it can. : Obesity is a very common cause of a large liver. It shrinks with weight loss and that's one of the reasons that bariatric surgery programs usually require some weight loss before surgery.

Enlarged liver: Yes. Actually, nearly all obese patients have fatty liver or an enlarged liver. So that finding is expected. It will shrink down in size once you have surgery and lose weight though.
