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.

      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?
