Hi All, so I am 2.days post op and things are.not turning out as simple as I thought it would. the procedure went great but by the time they got me to recovery it was about 7pm and I would need to be there 2 to 4 hours so they keep me overnight so they could monitor me, I ended staying all day and just when I was going to be release my (never had a high number over 136) blood pressure is up to 170 and my heart rate since this morning is very low, like 45... has anyone else had this issues? so needless to say the would not release my. uugghhh.

Not that I am a medical professional, but many times your blood pressure and pulse will spike because of anxiety or shock. This is temporary probably but you can help things along by doing some deep breathing and meditation.

It's a good thing they kept you. I had the something similar - BP was 150-160/90-100, pulse was 55-60 consistently throughout my hospitalization. By my 2-week follow up appointment my BP was down to 114/66.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
