Hello,

I had the sleeve procedure almost 3 months ago. I had a lower BMI but decided to do the procedure because of high blood pressure and diabetes. My BP has been up and down, but it seems to be going up some days- not to the point of before surgery. I must admit I stress a lot. I just started checking the morning blood levels - last 3 days, and they had ranged from 60s to 140s. Has anyone experienced this? Has any of the conditions gone into remission? If yes, how long did it take?

Thank you.

Hi there, I was sleeved 7 weeks ago. I was also at a lower BMI (33) I was taken off my Metformin when I left the hospital after 2 days. I’ve been checking my sugars and they do seem to be staying in the normal range. I also stopped my blood pressure med within 2 weeks as it was making my really lightheaded. Ive been able to get off all but one of my meds and that will be evaluated when I get to 3 months out. I think you should touch base with your primary care physician about your BP. The fluctuations could be normal because your body is going through such changes, but it should also be improving with weight loss. Good luck!
