My doctor does not check the liver (other than through blood work) either. After reading about people on here who had to be on 2 week (or longer sometimes) liquid diets to shrink their liver before surgery, I asked my surgeon about it and he said it was really just the surgeon's own preference.

Best wishes to you!
