Hello all! I wanted to share my first NSV with everyone... I have been suffering with high blood pressure for nearly 12 years. I am 1 week post-op today and I no longer have high blood pressure! Just so you can understand my excitement I was on 3 blood pressure pills a day for a year. Prior to that I was on 4 blood pressure pills daily...... I am shedding tears of joy because for the past week my blood pressure has been normal without medication... Prior to surgery after medication my blood pressure was never normal.... Thank God for my sleeve and I am so glad I decided to have the sleeve done.. I know I have a long way to go but so far I would say I am off to an awesome start!!

Hello Sunsetblvd. Thanks for your response and the first day was the worst for me because of being nauseous. I was not in a lot of pain afterwards. I was having all sorts of emotions prior to surgery so what you are feeling is completely normal. You will do fine just be mentally ready for your sleeve. It was literally like a light switch for me... I have absolutely no hunger now at all!!

there is no such thing as a small NSV

You called this post "Small NSV" - are you kidding me???

OMG - if loosing your blood pressure meds is a "small" NSV - what the heck is a "large" NSV????

congrats - this is huge

the sleeve "helped" get rid of the high blood pressure - BUT it couldn't have been done without you

keep up the great work
