Cholesterol readings concerned



Recommended Posts

Just received reading for my lipids as follow:

  • total cholesterol is 245mg
  • HDL is 99 mg
  • LDL is 132 mg
  • Triglycerides is 66 mg
  • Cholesterol/HDL Ratio 2.5

  • LDL/HDL Ratio 1.34

Based on these ratings even though the total cholesterol is 245mg but my HDL is at a whopping 99mg which is great. And according to the newly standards my total cholesterol number it's consider borderline elevated or high elevated. Looking for fellow sleevers with same or similar situatuon to chime in and give their opinion. I don't want make sure I take care of this because would not want to deal with something down the road. Please advise.

Thanks !!

these readings can be crazy for a while during rapid weight loss.

Risk is going to vary based on each person's medical and family history - I'd keep an eye on it, but I personally wouldn't worry about those numbers.

I worry more about inflammation than cholesterol, myself.

have you spoke with the doctor yet, if so what do they want to do?
