Triglycerides?
I did all my pre-op stuff this week and got my results back. My EKG, x-ray and bloodwork were all good. The nurse did say my triglycerides were a little high, 160 and should be below 150. I read on the American Heart Association website a little about them; but still don't 'get it'. Anyone have an easy explanation of them? I have high cholesterol that is controlled with Vytorin and am in good health (other than back stuff), my BMI is normal, although I don't get much exercise because of my back pain. So, anyone else have this issue? What causes it? I'm sure, or at least hope, it is not a surgery deal breaker.
