Some of your numbers don't look right...for instance the Creatinine is usually with a decibel (ex. 1.9) and Trigs and HDL are usually whole numbers(ex. 35). Look at the area on your report that lists the normal ranges for each test. That will tell you if they are high or low. Every lab has a slightly different set of ranges and it's possible that the lab that ran your tests may use a different format which would explain why the numbers look odd to me.

US units and Aus units are often different so it would be hard for someone on an American site to interpret them. What does your Dr say? Usually if you have a copy of the report it gives a range and the ones which are a problem are highlighted

Those were the ones on my results marked as high or above norm. Sorry for the confusion.

Except thyroid was normal just thought someone here would have advice..

I'll be seeing surgeon in a month to discuss

Thx

You can try to Google/reseach acceptable range for each of these. But totally discuss with your doctor if something seems off/ not well understood.

(It's what i did for my lab results. My surgeon's office only discusses really problematic things like a deficiency).

GOOD LUCK , ALMOST THERE 💜

@Mikeyy - do they have the ranges on your results? Can you post them so we can see how far out they are of range?

@Mikeyy your results tell me about presence of metabolic syndrome: high blood sugar (you're type 2 diabetic?), low HDL (good cholesterol), high triglycerides, I assume your BP is high too? Elevated GGT indicates cardiovascular disease. Elevated vit.D3 (toxic above 100) tells me you take high doses of vit. D supplements. Your thyroid is overactive due to diabetes and obesity. Your RNY will take care of all these issues.

Thank you and this is why I'm going for the RNY being the more drastic option as I need the extra help that's for sure!!

Elevated GGT is usually related to the liver although in itself it is a very nonspecific test.

And Mikey, Emcee and the Rest- my Own Blood Labs must be back from 14th August, a prescription for Vitamin A capsules at a respectable strength were called into my pharmacy/chemist yesterday. Did anybody call, text or mail ME results? NOPE-NO WAY- and if they know ME and they SHOULD- I was born Curious- one of my First Sentences probably was "Hnnh- What Does THAT mean?"
