Fatty liver: It is generally true that obese individuals have fatty liver. Of the over 5000 operations that my partners and I have done, i would say that pretty much everyone who is obese has fatty liver to some degree. Some have it really bad, and some have a very mild amount. The good news is that when you lose weight, most of that goes away.
