I am new to this site and I have to share a huge victory for me today! I was banded on October 10 of this year and I had extremely high everything. I had my cholesterol tested Monday and I have cut my numbers by over half. I went from a ratio of 8.4 to 3.8!!!!! I am amazed! I will have another victory to hold onto on bad days! I am so happy and relieved! Had to share it with you guys! hopefully the blood pressure numbers will start to drop soon! By the way- this is a great site!!! You guys are so wonderful to each other. I am glad I found you!

Yaaahoooo!! Congratulations, Leigh Ann. That's the best part of being banded, the NSVs!! You are truly inducted into the NSV club.

Lee Ann,

My before numbers were as follows:

Before After

Triglycerides 1142 451

Total Chol. 292 126

As you can see, wow what a difference! I still need to work on my triglycerides but wow! I am going to have bloodwork done again in three months. I hope that it only gets better! If I had any doubts about this, I can see now I definitely made the right decision. The best of luck to you!
