6 Month Supervised Diet-Cigna
samantha209 replied to MandaVee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Are u on any meds?? My friend had surgery last year and he had minor complications because he was on Blood Pressure meds before surgery and they didnt reduce the dosage, so the diuretics were still at the high pre-op level, and he was severely dehydrated... -

How did you tell friends & family about having WLS?
samantha209 replied to ginajeans's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
