It's a good thing you are going to see your doctor, because this board is not here to offer up that kind of advice.   Good luck, and let us know what he/she has to say.

Yes, that was how my body reacted to the surgery too. My physician worked with me to get it under control. Now I have to be careful about my BP going too low, which I consider a good thing.
Hope you gt it resolved right away and keep track of it regularly, if not daily, because it will probably drop rapidly as your weight goes down.

Stay hydrated and it's good you are keeping an eye on your BP :)  It doesn't surprise me that it's going wacky, since the major surgery really stresses the body.  I remember my blood sugar was WAY up in the hospital with my DS.
Well the good news is it's very possible  you won't need BP meds for much longer!
Hope you are feeling better soon!
