First Post-op labs

Aug 31, 2013

Got my lab results! Normals are listed in parentheses. Last labs from May (3 months prior) are listed with *asterisks*. 

A1C: 5.3 (normal is 4.8-5.6) *5.9*

Total cholesterol: 118 (100-199) *175*

Triglycerides: 62 (0-149) *198*

VLDL: 12 (5-40) *40*

LDL: 65 (0-99) -*97*

HDL: 41 (>39) *38*

Blood glucose: 67 (65-99) *82* (on Metformin)

TSH: 2.140 (0.450-4.500)

B12: 791 (211-946)

Time and again I am seeing how my body is responding favorably to these changes. I said I was doing this to outlive my mom, who died at age 49. I'm feeling really, really, really GREAT about my decision at the moment!

I can't tell you the last time my entire bloodwork panel was in line, without meds.
