Question:
Has anyone had blood pressure come back

I am 2 years 1 month post op RNY and have been off meds for 2 years now. Recently my blood pressure rose so high that I had to go to ER and am now back on meds. I am thankful to get under control just so confused after I lost about 130 lbs why now is it coming back? Also my blood sugar is at 100 where before it was in the 70's and 80's    — bikermama (posted on May 23, 2010)

I'm just coming up on being 7 months post op. My bp was in the normal range my 1st 2 wks after surgery, but then went back high and my PCP put me back on a higher dose of meds. Now it appears to be coming back down after losing about 90 lbs. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I'm very interested in what the responses on this will be. Please keep us posted and good luck to you. I hope things get better soon.

I will be a year out from VSG in june. I haven't ever gotten to completely stop taking my blood pressure meds. I have gotten to stop taking my diabetes meds and have gone from 2 blood pressure pills per day down to only 1/2 of a pill per day. And I have lost right at 150lbs since surgery. However, I still need this little bit of blood pressure meds.. per my dr. High blood pressure runs on both sides of my family. I am greatful to get rid of nearly all my meds tho. I guess it just depends on the person and the case of high blood pressure. It is not always weight related =) weight just dosen't help the situation and can make it worse.

I came off all meds accept the BP, Arthritis, and OCD meds. My doctor said that my BP is related to stress and the RA meds is a factor as well. Stress from family, finances, and worrying about what RA does to my life. My type 2 diabetes is the only thing I came completely off meds for.
