In November my doctor told me my liver enzymes were slightly elevated and she was afraid I might be starting to develop nafld. After multiple attempts as getting on a glp-1 and being denied by insurance, in April she decided to order an ultrasound and an elastography as a last resort to see if anything had developed. Well, it turns out it’s actually “advanced” and I have early stage fibrosis. I’m also prediabetic, insulin resistant, and have high cholesterol. I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to lose weight since May 2024, which is why we were trying for the glp-1 in the first place.

Im just at a completely loss right now. I was prepared for “starting to develop”, not “advanced with fibrosis”. I know my diet needs to change and I need to start working out, I just don’t know where to start.

Update: I was just denied the glp-1 again. This time because my fibrosis level isn’t high enough?
