The anesthesia they give you for surgery lowers your heart rate and blood pressure for a few days to a week or two post-op (in my experience, anyway). My doctor was initially one of those who thought my blood pressure would be fine after surgery, so she actually told me just stop taking my meds altogether. It wasn't okay. I went off my bp meds for three months and my bp SKY ROCKETED! I had to go back on them. I mean, I take less now then I used to (i.e I used to take my bp meds pre-op every other day. Now 18 months post-op I take them every 3-4 days. And my bp is normal with that. But I can't give them up altogether because my bp sky rockets and so does my heart rate. I also have tachycardia btw, so yeah). Just monitor your blood pressure for a couple days and then take them when it starts to rise again. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones that may not have to take them anymore (that's usually only for those who have weight related bp. Mine is genetic. Literally everyone in my generation except my sister has hbp. Everyone in my mom and grandma's generation take bp meds. Weight in our case doesn't matter).

if it's just due to something they need from the surgeon's office, then I wouldn't get too discouraged yet. And July 2nd is just nine days away.... Hopefully this will just mean a slight delay and it'll all work out in the end

what is it they need? and why can't someone else in the office send? This is why my SX collected all the information and sent it as a pack with a SX date.

Cigna denied me for surgery. They said the surgeons office didn't send what they needed. Now the nurse won't be back to July 2nd and I do not know what to do. I feel like the surgeons office just left me sitting here. Any suggestions?
