Well, I was at the doctor today for my medical clearance. Everything looked pretty good except my blood pressure, which was 140/100, is too high although I have been on medication. Now I have to up my blood pressure medication over the next 2 weeks or my surgeon may not operate. And my sugar was still high, although I am on diabetic medication twice a day. I thought I was doing well, but I guess not as well as I hoped. I cannot wait until the surgery is done and I will, hopefully, not have to take medication anymore.

 

Has anyone out there been able to get off their meds after surgery?

No sugar problems but I was on a water pill and blood pressure pill, we've slowly weaned me down and I'm officially off the blood pressure pill and on 1/4 strength of the water pill. I'll be 6 months post-op next week...72 pounds down. I'll take it! Good luck!
