When I was 6'2", 175 lbs, and very active, I had high cholesterol and more visceral fat than others. Now years later, I am 275 lbs and looking into the lap band. I wish there were a way to remove the fat near the liver since some researchers have shown this to related to high cholesterol. My doctor thinks if I lose 100 lbs, my cholesterol level will be in a safe zone. Well, I was 175 lbs and it was 250.
