Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You may need a stricter diet and fitness schedule to make you more healthy. Please remember not to over exert yourself. If the leg ultrasound is normal then there is no concern regarding clots in the leg veins. The SGOT and SGPT are not significantly elevated in you. You can try an lose the 15 pounds over 3 to 6 months. Please do not skip meals.
