Can Gall Bladder Removal And Low Vit B12 Levels Affect Cholesterol Levels?

I have no gall bladder and problems with low b12. Can either of these affect my cholesterol which is 304. I have great blood pressure. My trigliserides are good my good cholesterol is where it should be. I had some lifeline screening and my arteries are clear just a mild plaque on right side.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Vitamin b 12 levels should not have a significant effect on your cholesterol levels , neither should the absence of the gallbladder.

Neither of these would be contributing to your problem.

Cholesterol levels are affected by family history, diet and activity.

I hope this helps
