Thanks all, good things to check in to. Will post if anything changes. Have a great day!

I had major issues with high blood pressure prior to surgery. Neurosurgeons worried about strokes etc.. now I am facing the opposite issue. I no longer take blood pressure medicines for months now. My blood pressure has dropped drastically, to the point where I have a hard time getting the energy to even get out of bed or do anything. The doctor is aware, and just recently did some blood work, I go in to have a bp work up (whatever that is) and an ekg. My blood pressure also drops if I get up, even if I take it slow. Sooo, I take things extra slow. It's averaging out 90/60 with a heartrate of 108 which is usually in the 60's 70's. The lowest one at the doctors office was 88/56 heartrate 104. They didn't let me go till it went up, thankfully a crying baby helped. LOL No pun. Is anyone else having this issue? Anything I can do myself to fix this?

This thread along with the other grammar police threads crack me up. Honestly, tit for tat. Is that "condesending" enough? *shrugs* I started exploring recently looking for something and ran across this board. It's nice to have a board to rant on, however the elementary school he said she said I don't much like. If I have something to say I prefer to say it to that person. My opinion, and how I handle things. I guess this would be my rant for the day. LOL On another note....Have a good weekend (being sincere here).

I really enjoy reading success stories, thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your first year.

Welcome and congratulations. Yay, you made it! You will have both good and bad times, just take it one day at a time. Keep us posted.

Welcome to the group and congratulations on your date. Look forward to hearing your story.

I actually remember being told I couldn't be helped because of my weight. Will never forget it, I cried about it. Felt terrible, still think about it at times.

Agree with the above, talk to your doctor soon. Vomiting is not good. I hope you feel better soon, and the doctor can help you with the vomiting. Stalls will happen, it should pick up again. Take it one day at a time.

Welcome! Walking will help you out with the gas. Make sure you also stay hydrated, sip sip sip. Take it easy and keep us posted.

Wow, sorry to hear you are still having issues. Hopefully some *good news* for you soon.

Wow, sorry to hear your story and dealings with the nursing staff as well as your doctor. If not now, maybe in the future you should look into reporting the incident, I believe there are also places you can post anonymously. It is good to hear you pulled through after dealing with all that and succeeding. Welcome, and look forward to updates.

Congrats! Good luck on your journey. =)

Yay! Keep us posted.

Congrats! Looks like you are working it, way to go. I also happen to be a sleeve lover.... :Banane59:

Glad things are beginning to turn around for you. Keep up the good work.
