I usually took Diovan Water pill but I stopped it Post-op because I feel It made me weak since I'm drinking smaller amounts slower it depleted my body . Anyone else feel something similar ???

I was on a diuretic for many years which I stopped after my surgery because I was having trouble staying hydrated. You should really ask your Dr that prescribed the medication especially is it was meant to help keep your BP down. Getting enough Water is crucial!

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2

I used to take one per day pre surg. The dr said dont take it anymore because of dehydration risks. At abt 6 mos out, my ring felt tight so I thought i'd take one. Mistake!!! I felt horrible! Very light headed and honestly thought i was going to pass out. Hubby was at work, and i was terrified. Hours later ( and lots of water drinkng) i felt normal again. Very scary day. My BP is no longer high since i'm down almost 80 lbs. Unless your doc has you on it NOW i would not take it.

Thanks guys I go Monday for my check up I will ask surgeon:)
