I just had my first labs since my surgery back in November. My cholesterol has gone up a bit and I'm a bit upset. I've lost over 30 pounds and I don't eat any of the study that I used to eat presurgery plus I exercise regularly. Has this happened to anyone else?

Anyone?

Yes, mine went up also. The last bloodwork it registered 207. I had to modify my diet and have added more fish.

If I modify my diet any further I'll be starving myself. I read that this is normal after a dramatic weight loss. So hopefully it'll adjust by the time that I have my next labs done.

Mine went up as well. Still not meds level but higher post op than pre op. I will go back in for labs soon and will see if it has worked itself out. I was 3 months out and now 9 months. I am heading into maintenance soon and want to wait to have the labs redone.

Let us know how that goes.

Yes it has happen to me! I had a lot of blood work done I found out that I have hyperthyroidism that was caused my cholesterol to elevate.
