High Blood Pressure

Has any one gotten  extremly high blood pressure after gastric bypass. I had high blood pressure now it is extremly high. I am under doctors care.

I don't have extremely high BP, my bp is a few points above the normal. Now that my weight has dropped, they are thinking it is part genetics.

Just a fyi..your kidneys can cause high bp...remind your doc.  My father (the genetics) blood pressure was all over the place a few years ago.  They discovered he needed a stint put in his kidney to open the vessel.  this helped to even out his bpressure quite a bit.

This has not affected me; however, my sister had bypass 2 yrs ago and was recently hospitalized for the same condition.  At the time of admittance, her bp was 258 / 100.  She has been battling hypertension for many years, and had WLS for this same reason. 

I must admit, that she wasn't taking her meds like she should, but since her last scare- meds for both bp and her heart- she is faithful in doing so.  And yes, the doctors attributed it to genetics (both biological father and mother).

Please take care of yourself and your health along this journey!
