NSV

[Sun Rae 7]

I never, ever thought I would reach this NSV before I was even 2 months post-op, but I'll definitely take it! Today I was taken completely off of my blood pressure medicine. The day of my first fill, my blood pressure was 95/53. Well, that sure explained my light headedness! I saw my primary physican the next day and still had a very low reading, so he decided to cut my dose in half. He instructed me to record my blood pressure 2 times a day for several days and I still never got a reading above 103/68. Today, my physician told me that there is no smaller dose and to stop taking it completely. I am supposed to keep monitoring it twice a day and report my readings on Thursday. I pray that it stays normal and needless to say, I am definitely doing the happy dance. ( / ) ( l ) ( \ ) ( l ) ( / ) ( l ) ( \ )

That's awesome!!! I am 2 weeks post op. I didn't have any health problems going in but my mom is on her journey to getting lapband. Her insurance requiers her to do a 6 month diet. She can't wait for the day she doesnt have to take her blood pressure meds or check her insulin levels CONGRATS!!
