Wow, Pre-Op Vs Post-Op Meds, When Did You Get Off Meds?

[Bug 10]

Hi,

I was sleeved Monday Aug, 6 and released from the hospital Thurs, Aug.9.

I whent into surgery on 6 meds and was taken off 3 blood pressure pills,

1 cholesterol pill, 1 diabetes pill and still on an acid reducer. This was shocking

that years of requiring these meds changed in 4 days after the sleeve. How long

did it take other sleevers to get off their Meds?

THANKS

I know my friend was on insulin since she was I think 19 and since her surg on July 12, 2012 no more insulin sugar improved right away

I came off Lipitor immediately after surgery.

I had to cut my blood pressure medicine in half a week post-op. At one month post-op I have had to come off my blood pressure medicine completely.

I expect I will have to go back on on some blood-pressure medicine eventually. It is hereditary for me, but the sudden weight loss knocks everything out of equilibrium.

Ive been off diabetes and blood pressure meds since my surgery 12 days ago. Am also off cholesterol meds, but will have repeat labs in 3 months to re-assess the levels.

Wish you all the best!

Thanks for all the info.I never thought that could happen that fast to get

off the meds. I keep askng the doctor if this was premature. I been trying

get off diabetis drug for years than in 4 day it gone, wow this was very much worth

the long journey.

Thanks everyone and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on high blood pressure medications and metforin. I was taking off the week of my surgery. I had lost weight during my pre liquid diet. My blood pressure has been low every since. My blood sugar is normal.

The only time my blood pressure goes up, is when Im in pain.
