someone please help!

have been having terrible stomach issues for the past year and a half. I have gained thirty pounds all in my abdomen, constant bloating and distention along with severe pain and disomfort. I have had a ton of testing down as far as blood tests, mri tests, ultra sounds, upper endoscopy and am scheduled for a liver biopsy in three weeks. They have found that I have an enlarged liver along with cists on it and a somewhat damaged gall bladder, other than that they have found nothing abnormal. They even tested my fat levels and they have not changed from tests I had years ago to see if it was just weight gain. I have an underlying problrm of congenital heart disease but my heart is working perfectly fine with someone with my condition.  I have become very depressed and tired and discouraged and I need help. Im only twenty years old and have put my life on hold to figure this out. Thanks for your time.
