leighhoffman 0 Posted December 7, 2005 I am new to this site and I have to share a huge victory for me today! I was banded on October 10 of this year and I had extremely high everything. I had my cholesterol tested Monday and I have cut my numbers by over half. I went from a ratio of 8.4 to 3.8!!!!! I am amazed! I will have another victory to hold onto on bad days! I am so happy and relieved! Had to share it with you guys! hopefully the blood pressure numbers will start to drop soon! By the way- this is a great site!!! You guys are so wonderful to each other.
