My friend was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome back in 2004 and has been managing it since. Now she's developed gall bladder stones around 6mm, but surgery isn't an option because of her liver complications. What other treatments could help in this situation?

I'm dealing with grade 2 fatty liver, and I usually drink from moderate to heavy. They've mentioned it's a reversible condition but that it'll take time. I'm also a bit overweight. Can you let me know how long it might take for my liver to recover? And what kind of precautions should I be taking to help speed up the recovery?
Fatty liver grade 2 can be reversed with lifestyle changes, but it will take time, typically several months to a year. Focus on cutting out alcohol, adopting a balanced, low-fat diet, exercising regularly, and losing weight gradually to support liver health and recovery. Be patient, as consistent effort will make a difference over time.
