Uh Oh! My "Labs" Are Good

I'm freaked out. I had my labs done last weekend, and I received the results yesterday. I was shocked out of my mind. I have consistently had cholesterol over 200 and triglycerides between 300 and 500 over the past few years. I take Crestor.

Anyway, my cholesterol was 142, and my triglycerides were 127. I almost feel like they mixed up my results!

Does anyone know if this vast improvement is going to hurt me in getting approval from my insurance company? I certainly have a high enough BMI (44).

I don't know how its going to affect your approval. I just wanted to say congrats on your good numbers. Mine aren't so good, but I am working on them, cholesterol 225 and triglycerides 443.

I shouldn't really have much of an effect given your BMI. I also have high cholesterol but it too is controlled with medications. Don't stress over it, you should be fine.
