Cholesterol levels before and after?

[kemo46 82]

I am having my blood work next week and I am very optimistic that my cholesterol numbers will be in the normal range. My blood sugar numbers are already there, I check them daily. I am curious for all of you that had the surgery, what your cholesterol was before the surgery and what it was when you had your blood work after the surgery. How much weight had you lost when you had your blood work done post surgery?

I figure eating the right foods and losing all of this weight should have a huge impact on these numbers. My cholesterol was 237 when I had my blood work done about 1 month before my surgery.

I am anxious to hear what others have to say! I too am hoping mine will be good soon!

I had mine checked mid July, just a little over 2 months after my surgery and mine went from 224 to 178.

I thought that was pretty good.

Hi, I had mine drawn about a month ago 11 months after the sleeve and stopping my cholesterol meds. On the pills my cholesterol was 213 now 189 triglycerides 170 now 70 good cholesterol went from 50 to 70. My blood pressure went from 140/90 with meds to 100/60 without.

My triglycerides used to be borderline high. I didn't pay much attn to this because my main problem was with diabetes. After surgery I've been watching carbs, not fat...and yesterday my doc said my total cholesteraol was 194. I figure that is pretty good considering I wasn't concentrating on trying to improve it. As a side note, I am also off my high blood pressure medicine ( my blood pressure was even a little low) and my diabetes #s are at normal levels. At this time I still take diabetes meds, but now about 1/4 the dose. Things are looking up!!
