OT- anyone know much about cholesterol?

Thanks!
Also CONGRATS on the engagement!!! I am hoping your treatment goes perfectly too:)

my LDL is 100 my total cholesterol i havn't mentioned but it is 114 :) which is still good, on the low end for sure

Indeed it is!  (Mine is currently low 130's almost six years later.)

 I have absolutely nothing useful to offer you. I just wanted to say that Dr. Simper is my chosen surgeon as well, and since you already have a date and will have your surgery before me, I'm going to keep an "eye" (nice pun there, huh? :D) on your progress.

lol nice pun! Well, that is my tenative date, I am sending my insurance my records in 2 wks to obtain approval. Then the battle begins! I love my insurance and I have high hopes that they will take care of me, I currently have Federal BCBS. I hear they are super fast in deciding so I might know my answer in 3 weeks! When things get rolling or you have any questions just message me. I will be scoping out the hotels they mentioned on the RMAP site in two weeks to, trying to decide which one I will be staying in for 2 wks. Dr. Simper rocks!

ways to increase the HDL: 

fish oil - krell oil is great , no after-taste/
flax oil
flax meal, flax seeds
fish
exercise
red wine
garlic


not nessesary in that order , but all of them work. Daily.
