    Default High Blood Pressure

    has anyone had any blood pressure problems after surgery? i was on blood pressure medicine before surgery then after was told to come off of it and did. I really havent had any issues but recently i have noticed it creeping back up. I am sure its stress induced but wondered if anyone else had to stay on their medicine. I run 2 miles every other day and have started lifting weights every other day, so i dont think it health issue ..

    No issues for me with going off BP. I would touch base with your NUT - sometimes we get more salt in our restricted diet....
    [I]HW: 240 lbs SW: 199 lbs GW: 140 lbs

    1 MO = 167.0 2 MO = 156.4 3 MO = 148.4 4 MO = 140.6
    5 M) = 136.0 6 MO = 130.0
    1 YR = 122.0 2 YR = 140.00 2.5 YR = 139
    Happy with my weight; happy with my size; over-the-moon with my health!

    Annie's right, talk to your doctor. My mom's was really low because of low sodium, and I asked if she should start eating more salt like chips, etc. They said no, she just needed to eat more. (She was elderly with no appetite, but it could compare to someone with a sleeve.)

    Plus the sleeve doesn't mean we will magically get off all our meds. It seems like diabetics have really good luck, but other conditions, like my inherited high cholesterol, don't. I will be on meds for life even though I am at a healthy weight, eat right, and exercise daily. We tried the first three months after surgery without the meds, and the numbers went through the roof!

    I was on 3 bp meds but had to go off 2 of those about 2 weeks after surgery due to lightheadedness and dizziness. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since I've been off the meds but I feel great. No issues so far. I visit my kidney doctor in a couple weeks and depending on my lab results I may stay off or just decrease those other 2 meds.

    I did. I had to go back on mine after coming off for about 3 months. I first had my dose lowered from 5mg to 2.5mg. Then I came off. Now back on at 2.5mg. I have a healthy BMI. I eat right. I strength train and run. Doctor said at this point it is just hereditary as health wise I have done everything right.
