I never had an super high blood pressure, even at my heaviest 450+lbs I was at about 130-140 maybe maximum 150 on a bad day but now although I am still quite fat (320lbs) my blood pressure is barely above 100...
Last three days it goes from 96-98 the high one and about 55 the low one.
Of course I am dizzy during the day, I try to drink Water as much as possible but I do usually the 2l minimum I cannot say my diet is salt free and it’s getting me a bit worried saying if it is already that low how will it be when I get to 250lbs for example?
I will see my endocrinologist next week and I have an appointment with my surgeon at the end of the month, but until then I seek your wisdom :)

Mine hasn't been that low, which sounds too low, but mine definitely got lower as I started losing weight and I had to quit taking my blood pressure medicine and my surgeon also said to add some salt into my diet.

Mine has been running low also. I'm 2 1/2 post. I've stopped taking my blood pressure meds for now. I'm keeping records of it until I go to my regular doctor in a few weeks. I go to my surgeon this coming week. I go back to work then too so it may change.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
