TERRIFIED of gaining weight
Avery's Mom replied to FancyChristine15's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

Can you visually see your weight loss?

My doc had me cut my BP meds in half immediately after my surgery (sleeve) and took me off at my 6 month checkup. I did end up in hospital a week after surgery for low BP and potassium. PLEASE don't give up. see your GP and keep pushing to get some answers!
