YOU can change that: Fatty liver disease is the most common liver problem in america now. Unlike other liver diseases which often require treatments provided by physicians, fatty liver disease is primarily treated by you. Severe, untreated fatty liver will lead to problems down the road, but it is reversible with wt loss. If I am not mistaken, u already lost 41lbs--great job. Keep up the good work. Good luck.
