I was diagnosed with fatty liver. gi didn't seem too concerned but said i would have an ultrasound in 6 mos. would rescheduling it to 9 mos be bad?

WHY?????: are you considering postponing the follow-up...Ultrasound is NON-INVASIVE and painless! I would follow-up EXACTLY the way your GI is suggesting your GI is requesting! Hope this is helpful! DR Z
