Lipid Panel results question... 5 months out

[sleevie.wonder 306]

I recently got my labs done for my 5 month post-op appointment on Wednesday. Everything came back great, except my total cholesterol number has gone up. It is still in the "normal" range (it's 166 up from 154 last year), but I find it odd that my cholesterol was lower when I was 100+ lbs heavier and heating fast food every day. Is this normal?

Also, my HDL and LDL are not looking great either. My HDL has dropped to 29 (from 42 last year) and my LDL spiked to 117 (from 97 last year)

I understand these are questions for my doc on Wednesday, but wanted to see if anyone had the same thing happen to them as well.

At my 4 month mark mine went up from a reliable 142-144 up to 169. My number had been in the 140s for years. I wondered about it too - seems so odd. I'd been eating more eggs than I used to, thought maybe this was the culprit.
