Blood pressure

For those of you who are on blood pressure medication, how long did it take after the procedure to stop taking the pills?

Getting off those blood pressure pills I cannot wait for!

if i remember correctly it only took about 2 months after my surgery before i was off all my meds.that includes blood pressure and heart medication.@ mths out i only take an asprin(for life) and vitamins.i hope this helps

For me, I was really aware how my blood pressure meds were affecting me.  Everytime I lost weight in the past (even 30 lbs) my Dr. would lessen my dosage, so after the liquid diet and sudden weight loss, I really noticed low blood pressure symptoms (mostly dizziness on getting up to fast) so I started taking them every second day ...... this was about 5 or 6 days out.  I had my 2 week check with my local Dr., told him that the days that I took my BP meds, I ended up with dizzy spells and feeling "deflated" - like someone let the air out of me - weird feeling for sure.  He took my BP and it was a little on the low side and this was after a took on of my BP pills.  He suggested I cut my pills in half (to use up my script cuz that stuff ain't free) and take that every morning. 

Now that only makes sense, I was getting too much every second day, causing my BP to plumet - duh! I am seeing him again and hopefully we will lower that even more until I am completely weaned off cuz we all know you can't quit that stuff cold turkey.

thank you
