Message: <blockquote data-quote="graj0" data-source="post: 949849">My liver function deteriorated dramatically after taking Rosiglitazone for several years (also responsible for massive weight gain, assisted by Citilapram to prevent the anxiety of gaining weight without overeating). My liver function numbers have been lousy ever since, well over 10 years now, and although I'm thinking that it's part of the reason weight loss is difficult (lost loads when they stopped Rosiglitazone, when I went low carb and after hospital stays), touch wood, there are no other problems except I may not metabolise any medication as well as I could, I seem to have all the side effects in spades.You've been referred fairly quickly which is good and the specialist will decide if a scan is required, sometimes I think a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, I tend to take everything on Google with a very big pinch of salt. When you've read two opposing opinions from 2 very well qualified eminent specialists, you'll know exactly what I mean. The suggestion of a scan doesn't reflect any degree of seriousness, it's an excellent tool for seeing exactly what's going on. I tend to be grateful because I've had my little £5 a month donation to the High Wycombe Scanner Appeal going for years.  I recently had a scan because the medical profession weren't entirely sure what was going on inside me, at least it indicated surgery was required, but even the surgeon said "I won't know exactly what's going on, until I open you up", they only had a rough idea, even with the scan. I actually had a burst appendix, I'd had peritonitis and an abscess that started at the appendix and finished at the duodenum.I hope that if you have a scan, all is well, and I'm not sure how it works in your area, but a week after my scan, my GP was phoning me to chase the hospital, it still took them a week to tell me exactly what my GP had said in the beginning. However, a phone call to my GP expressing my disappointment did lead to another call from the consultant explaining things much more clearly and that I would be going in for surgery.</blockquote>
