Higg blood pressure



Recommended Posts

I had high blood pressure before surgery (as high as 160 with meds) and in the hospital right after surgery (because of anesthesia, I was told) but by the time I went home I was cured. At all my other appointments my blood pressure has been excellent. Hurray, no more tiny pills twice a day for me.

I even checked the blood pressure again to be sure. Nope, I am cured! It was just like a switch turned off. Freaking unbelievable. I have the same blood pressure I had when I was 20 years old.

Really? You were still able to have surgery with your bp being high? How did you know your bp was going up. I had to get a higher dose cause my bp wasn't going down. I'm praying the more I lose weight and after surgery it goes down. I'm tired of feeling tired

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
