Another NSV! Blood Pressure Under Control

[joatsaint 2,814]

Hey guys, just wanted to share another NSV benefit from having VSG.

Pre-surgery my blood pressure was averaging 143 over 105. 2 years later its averaging 125 over 90. Sometimes it even gets as low as 117/82. I check my pressure about once a week when I make a Sam's Club run. They have a blood pressure machine over at the pharmacy.

Yeah! I also hovered around 125/80 all the way to 154/any given number, and was on Water pills to control it. I'm now 110/70 most days or some days lower than 110. I have to take mine everyday to make sure I'm not too low. I have the machine at home. WOW, what excess fat can do to the body.

Isn't that a great feeling?? Before my surgery, at my heaviest, and for the first time in my life I struggled with high blood pressure. The first time I saw that 156/102 reading and was put on medication was the day I decided to have WLS. Literally weeks after my sugary I was taken off meds because my blood pressure was normal. Best feeling in the world
