High Blood Pressure AFTER Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

I’m 5 weeks post-op, down 35 pounds and feeling pretty good. I’m exercising regularly and cleared to eat all foods. My only problem is my blood pressure has spiked up. I never had high blood pressure before surgery and now it’s 150/99. My surgeons office said that wouldn’t have anything to do with surgery and I already made an appt with my primary for this evening. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this?

I came out of surgery with sky high BP, stayed two days because BP gave me horrid headache. Came home with it still high and today I’m 9 days post op and it’s finally lowering a bit. Surgeon wasn’t worried said it was because of pain do I went to my primary dr on Monday and he also wasn’t worried, so I’ll record my BP daily. May 4th is my two week and will talk to surgeon again

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
