After surgery, the Doc kept me on the regular dose for a while, watching my labs which were really good. Then she made me take half the pill for 3 months, then retested my labs... They were almost the same after lowering the dose by half. If the problem was genetic rather than weight related, the numbers would have shot up again to some degree. Best of luck with your labs! It feels great to dump the drugs!

This is great news - congratulations! Not only are you healthy - think of the $$$ you are going to save!

I was able to get off my cholesterol meds at 3 months. My total cholesterol was normal, as were the HDL and LDL levels. First time in A LONG TIME. All 3 of those had been normal. I go on Friday to see what my 6 months labs say - I hope I get to stay off the meds and it isn't hereditary.

I wish you continued success on your journey.
