I'm Off One Of My Bp Meds!



Recommended Posts

Happy to report that I got to say goodbye to my HCTZ! (And Potassium ... can't do one without the other!) I'm down 19 lbs since July. My BP is stabilized and hanging right in there around 120/75. Hooray!! A small hurdle because I still have one to go. Will be over the moon when I can lose the other one too! Looking forward to my first fill on the 26th.

Was on BP meds for nearly 15 years and was taken off them six weeks ago. Super happy with this NSV.

The hospital ER doctor told me to stop my BP meds a few weeks after surgery. I wound up in the ER with flashing lights in my vision.....I thought it was a signs of a detached retina. Turns out my BP was so low, I the flashing I saw was signs of passing out. My BP was below 80/60.

Since I stopped the BP meds, my BP is in the 110/70 range. That was the first sign, besides weight, that things were going well after this surgery for me. And it saved me a $25 per month co-pay for the meds.

I am so happy for you and everyone else on this page. No BP pills would be a miricle for me. Congratulations/

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
