My PCP said to ask for surgeon to move up my surgery, due to my extremely high triglyceride level...2220. So, I placed a call to them, and am now being told they want me to see a cardiologist to determine if it is even safe for me to proceed with surgery. Just curious if anyone else experienced anything like this...

High triglyceride levels are initially treated with a low-fat, low-carbohydrate diet and lifestyle modifications. When this does not work, your health care provider may want to add medication to help lower your triglyceride levels

Yes, I have been on many different medications, and nothing seems to work, as "Fatty Livers" are hereditary. I currently take Crestor 20mg and Vascepa 1gm, 2 twice a day.

Fatty liver isn't just hereditary. Anyone on a high sugar diet will feet fatty liver are some point. Not doing surgery coz of high trigs makes zero sense hey!
