Increasing Triglycerides with lowered Total Cholesterol????!
Since my revision from VS to DS a little over a year ago, my cholesterol has dropped from 230 to 171 however my triglycerides are climbing rapidly from 70 to 146 a week ago. Has anyone heard of this? I've lost 86 pounds and am at my personal goal and maintaining well. All my other labs are relatively good. I do eat a high fat/high protein diet with occasional carbs. I am so confused--I thought this surgery would keep my triglycerides at a healthy number, not increasing with each blood test! Over 150 is unhealthy and I'm heading in that direction. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Happy Fathers Day.
First goal 120.0: 12/7/13 Final goal 115.0 (114.6): 2/6/14

I would have it tested in 6 months and see if it was just a blip in the level. Increase your exercise a bit and retest. Keep us posted.
