A Little Sad
I just needed to vent-I had posted two weeks ago that I had gone to 1/2 medicine for my heart-well I guess my heart is not ready for that-going on 1/2 tablet twice a day-my heartbeat starting going up fast-so my doctor told me to go back to regular prescription. I know Dr Davidson told me that my heart issue could be caused from the Phen Phen I took in the 80's and wls might not help it. I am trying to stay positive-like knowing I am no longer a diabetic-but I was hoping that I could cut back on the meds. Maybe in time-I just need to stay positive. Sorry for posting a bad discussion-but I just needed to vent=thanks for letting me!!
I wish everyone contiued success in their journey!!

Gina,
I can hear your disappointment and frustration. It might take time for things to correct. I hope that they do.
My husband had the surgery last month and while he has been fortunate to have most of his meds discontinued, he still has to use the CPAP which he was hoping to ditch. His Dr told him to be patient and realize that it will take some time, but that this too should resolve. I wish the same for both of you.

HI Gina,
I have been off all my meds...except arthritis meds...since surgery in Februaury. Off my CPAP too. BUT...my PCP is talking about putting me back on BP meds since I have been borderline high for the past 4 months.
Not sure what's causing the increase. Maybe stress. But I still have quite a bit more to lose and am confident that if I DO start BP meds again, it won't be for long.
I'm sure as you continue to lose weight that heart medicine of yours won't be needed anymore. If it is, it is. Do what's best for a healthy you.
Take care,
Mare
