Patients that look to bariatric surgery as a means to get on a transplant list should really evaluate what they are doing. Bariatric surgery is not a quick fix for weight loss. It should not be used in this manner. it is felt by many that if you are given the prognosis to lose weight or ultimately die, bariatric surgery should not be a consideration as noted.

They operated on my friend who was in the same situation as your mother. It's worth a shot. John I would contact the doctors at The Khalili Center for Bariatric Care.

She went in for bariatric surgery 3 yrs ago, and was immediately closed upon findings of cirrhosis. She is not a candidate for transplant due to her obesity, and no one locally (Cleveland Ohio) will perform gastric bypass surgery for her weight loss in order to be put on the transplant list. It's a no win situation! Does anyone know of any surgeons willing to look at these patients with no hope? Sincerely frustrated...Karla Comp My mother has NASH.
