It may be too low! You better be careful with that do you have a blood pressure machine at home?

That's a great idea! I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. I checked it this morning and it's 110/86, which is lower than it was pre-surgery with bp meds. I'll email my doctors about it today. It was in the normal range in the hospital without meds. Thanks!

Hello all. I am a December gastric bypass post op. I originally had the gastric sleeve surgery on September 2nd 2013. I was having horrible acid reflux that was resulting to me aspirating gastric acid almost every night. So, I just had a revision surgery to the gastric bypass on December 10th 2013.

Welcome! I'm so sorry you've had to endure two of these surgeries. I hope all goes well for you this time.

Hello post op'ers,

I had my surgery the 12-16 and came home the day. I have no complaints, pains, or questions. Life is good for me now. I hope that everyone else is fairing well to.

No meds is that with you taking meds? It sounds perfect but it could be dropping below that with meds ! Glad I reminded you! I have a blood pressure machine on the way!

I'm taking bp meds. And cholesterol meds and blood thinners. I asked my surgeon at the hospital if I could quit my meds. He said he wanted me to continue until my after surgery appointment on the 27th. So that's what I'm doing. How did your appointment go?

Went to doc today.....and since my journey began August 1st I am down 67 pounds, and 11 pounds since my surgery December 11th. I made it to the 3's and I am so happy. Cant wait to hit the 100 pound lost mark.

Great news! I'm only down about 38 since starting last July. But 26 of that loss happened since my surgery on the 10th! I've been averaging about a two pound loss per day, without trying. But I'm not hungry. I have to force the liquid "meals" and Water drinking. Are you having trouble with that? I'm dealing with nausea and gas too.

God yes I have gas bad and still quite abit of left side pain. And the liquids got old real fast. I get them all in but it is a struggle everyday. I even added sf popsicle and cream of chicken Soup to help

[Getting-used-to-new-me 119]

Me too! I've also added strained cream Soups, sf popsicles, sf puddings and non-fat yogurt. I also try to get in a Protein Shake each day. It's still so BORING! Generic gas x, liquid Tylenol, and milk of magnesia have become mainstays. I'm hoping my need for this stuff reduces. The weight loss is great. But I did this to reduce my medication needs, not increase them.

I am doing better with the meds. They told me to stop metformin and celexa. Now I just got to work on bp and I hope I get off it soon. I have been taking children's benadryl to help sleep. I don't regret it cause way I was going was terrible so even all this learning the new ways is better than my old ways

Good to know. There's still hope for me.
