A member asked:

My liver is border line enlarged from fatty liver from obesity. is this something that can be seen physically or am i imagining this?

No: Fatty liver mirrors the obesity epidemic in the us. You may not have any physical signs of fatty liver and your liver function tests may also be normal.
