Wow that was quick. I was just diagnosed with cirrhosis 2 months ago. I am 43 yrs old. In 2000, I had Gastric Bypass surgery (successfully)however, addiction changed then to alcohol. I am anemic and have had 2 blood transfusions in 2 years. I also have hepatitis which I also just found out. ? is I drank 60 days straight/drunk. This Jan. and Feb. and I bloated up like the Michelin man, I knew something was really wrong. When I went to the doctor in early March I weighed 292/bloating so severe, I now way 207 I m 5-7 and I m scared I wont be able to stop losing. I am on 2 20mg of furosemide and a potassium and I get b12 shots due to malnutrition. I am freezing all the time, my fingers are always cold is this from the cirrhosis. My doc wants me to go to a liver specialist, but I don t want to hear my death sentence. Thank you for your time.
Well, I am a gastrohepatologist, but I won't give you a death but a live sentence. Quit Chat Doctor.  Its more important than any of your medications at equal value with liver transplant we say. I know is a difficult decision, but you should take it for your good and live. As for the weft loosing a part is caused by diuretics I think, loosing liquids with urine you loose ascites and so you lose weight.
