Cross-post from The Main Forum   * * * * * *    A recent post by a member on the main forum got me to re-visiting my own pre-op vs. post-op blood lipids levels ..  I had almost forgotten just how much WLS had done for this former-diabetic in that regard!:    (the first figure is the pre-op level, the second the post-op level, and the last, the "normal range")

  Total cholesterol -                178     83     100-199

  Triglycerides -                        227     68         0-149

  LDL chol (the bad one) .-      89      31           0-99

  VLDL (also bad) -                   45      14           5-40

  HDL  (the good one) -           44      38  (ugh!)   40-59        I just need to work on raising the HDL with avocados, fish oils or (gasp!) exercise ..
