A member asked:
If having hep c prevents having weight loss surgery and what is the possibility of getting it done when your liver levels are low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very good: Hepatitis C should not prevent you from having weight loss surgery. However, you may also have a “fatty liver” (NASH) and your doctors may want to wait until this is better before proceeding. Check with them. There are many effective, well-tolerated (but expensive) meds to cure Hepatitis C. Again, check with them
