  1. HOW THE HECK CAN A PERSON KNOW IN TIME TO FIX IT IF SHE HAS NO SYMPTOMS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    1. I have been diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease. I wouldn't have known it, except I have a vigilant nurse practitioner who recommended I see a hepatologist for further testing after my blood work came back. I have made radical changes to my diet and lifestyle.

    2. Thanks for sharing - it sounds like you're taking major steps to improve your health! And I'm glad you have a vigilant nurse practitioner on your side. Having the right care team can make all the difference. -Alexa (team member)

  2. How long is the procedure

    1. Hi! Do you mind clarifying which procedure you're referring to? From there, I'll do my best to provide an answer. Thanks so much! -Alexa (team member)

  3. Will they put you to sleep

    1. Hi there! Would you mind clarifying your question? Are you asking about a specific procedure? Let me know and I can try to answer your question the best that I can! -Alexa (team member)

  4. How high does the MELD score need to be before you get a liver

    1. Great question. I know off my own personal experience only (I am no physician) with those contacting my foundation that it has been with variations. Depending on your hepatologist and your own personal health condition. There are a lot of variables that do go into this. It would be a great question for you to sit down with your medical team and ask this with Him/Her.
