Hmm. Well, mine was high enough pre-band that my doc told me he was going to put me on a drug for it. I asked him to let me try on my own. A few months after banding I got tested again and my cholesterol had dropped enough that I don't need to take anything for it. It's still just slightly above where it should be, and I've dropped 100 lbs now.

So I don't know if the band will necessarily "fix" high cholesterol entirely, but I bet just the eating so much less and eating healthier will bring it down somewhat. And maybe that's good enough?
