So I'm down 50 lbs since surgery (4 months) and feel great. My labs came back normal expect for my cholesterol didn't move. I'm so mad. Now my pcp wants to put me on medication. I heard they rapid weight lost can sometimes make cholesterol not move right away. Any one out there have this problem. It is genetics too in my family. I'm going to give it another three months to see if it lowers. I was not on meds before surgery so I can't imagine going on meds now? Hahha.
