Hello,
Please keep in mind that gallbladder disease itself sometimes elevates liver enzymes significantly, and surgery is often done during a hospitalization to treat acute gallbladder issues.
It would not be surprising for liver enzymes to be somewhat elevated initially, only to gradually resolve over several postoperative days. You can continue taking Livolin forte though.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
