So I made my follow-up trip to the doctor today to go over my not-so-great bloodwork results.
He didn't seem overly alarmed and didn't tell me I was going to die anytime soon, so that's always good.
Basically, my overall cholestrol is high, and my bad cholestrol is high, but my good cholestrol is in good shape. And my triglycerides are high. But nothing is super-out-of-control high, which is good too.
I have to watch my diet, and he gave me some samples and a prescription for something called Actos. It's more for my PCOS, but will hopefully help w/weight loss (which will in turn help lower the cholesterol and triglycerides, so the theory goes).
We'll see what happens. I have to go back in three months for another round of bloodwork.
