Diabetic Type II and I have Questions for Pre Op and Post Op
\Mara/ replied to vacationgirl1's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hang in there! I m dealing with some new health problems...in my last pcp appointment my blood pressure was a lil high, well I have a device to monitor the blood pressure at home, because my husband need it, so I noticed that maybe I have pre hypertension. The last days I checked 3 times per day and the typical numbers are 140/87, 137/90, 142/95...and my pulse 95,98,100... I have another appointment with my pcp the next week to check this, and a problem in my stomach. But I will have my first seminar on April, so will see! Good luck! -
