High blood pressure

[MUA 18]

So I went to my local family Dr last week and he told me I have high blood pressure and this is a first for me. So he told me to monitor my blood pressure for a couple weeks before putting me on medications. My surgery is November 10 in Mexico & want to get my pressure in check before then! Does anyone have foods they would recommend to lower blood pressure? Did anyone have high pressure prior to surgery? Were you ok or did u go on medication to lower it?

I had developed high blood pressure the first time in my life about a year ago and it was so severe I was put on medication. That was the determining factor to have weight loss surgery for me. I was taken off my blood pressure medication just 4 weeks after my surgery because I'd lost enough to where I didn't need not anymore Yours will resolve itself soon after your surgery too. One of the many, many benefits of WLS! Good Luck and good health!

I have hypertension and am on meds to deal with it. It is the comorbidity that is getting me the surgery even though my BMI is under 40
