Private College Student Loan

Does the 138,500 student loan cap include past private loans that are now consolidated through the Government?

I know the cap for total/lifetime student loans is (or at least was) 138,500. I may come close or slightly over that number to finish my graduate education. Some of my PAST loans were private loans like Wachovia, for example. However, those private loans were consolidated under the new Federal Government programs. So my question is do those past private student loans that have now been consolidated, count toward the 138,500 total cap?
