Why Should A Person With Fatty Liver Disease Meet A Gastroenterologist?

I have been told I have fatty liver disease. Lately, I have had profuse sweating and weakness in the latter part of the day after very little activity. I'm 62 years old, have diabetes and high cholesterol and trigycerides. I've been referred to a gastroenterologist. Why would I need to go there? (My weight is 139 and I'm 5'3")
