Josephine,

I have had slightly elevated liver enzymes sporadically throughout the years. I haven't had that in a while, and never since being on Met, though. However, my doctor has told me that the tests can come back slightly elevated sometime; my doc usually retests after a short period of time to check them. Has your doc asked you to come back in the next few weeks for a retest?

One of the things that can increase the liver enzymes is a fatty liver, and one of the reasons for that can be obesity.

I agree with Christy that you need to talk to your doctor about this.
