Lab Results NSV!
NSV!!! I just got my lab results back from my 6 week check up, and without fasting, my cholesterol and triglyceride levels have dropped significantly from my pre-surgery levels in September: Cholesterol: 281 to 212 (LDL: 165 to 133; HDL: 41 to 55) Triglycerides: 307 to 188! They should be better next time with fasting. My iron levels are fine, and all other results were normal! Amazing!!!
My triglycerides have been over 400 since 2012. I have had high cholesterol since as long as I can remember. This is the lowest my cholesterol has been in decades. And in just 33 pounds, I've already almost gotten it down to normal!
That's the main reason I did this. I have heart disease in my family, and I knew that if I didn't lose the weight, I'd probably die in my 60's. Here's hoping my sleeve extends my life at least 10+ years!
