I was disappointed when I went to my PCP last week. I was hoping to be able to get of my blood pressure medication as soon as possible but he actually put me on a second med for HBP.

When did your high blood pressure get better - enough to discontinue medication(s).

Thanks for your input in advance.

This doesn't have to be your case but 11 months and 80 pounds later I am still on BP medication. It hasn't resolved itself...

BUT NO REGRETS...

I stopped my bp meds at 3months post op...  im almost 7 months now and bp was 112/68 at my last visit

My BP med was a diuretic, so I was taken off of it when I had my rny surgery. (my BP was borderline high and I also had swelling in my legs/ankles, which the diuretic reduced).
During my hospital stay and my 3 week follow-up, my BP was OK. I recently had knee surgery on 11-7-11 and my BP was better. I also don't have the swelling in my legs/feet either.

I see my PCP next month and will be asking for a different tactic in my HBP resolution. I left the hospital 5 months ago minus two of my medications but am currently still on a beta blocker. Am working with PCP to find a different class of medications that maybe will resolve the issue, and I'm working with a health coach to pursue a low sodium post bariatric diet. Keeping my fingers crossed that with more poundage going, better exercise routine underway, and a lower sodium diet, I can get HBP gone! But am realistic enough to know it might be something I have til the end of days.

My blood pressure returned to normal after having surgery. I never had to take them again even whil still in the hospital.

I was off the two I was taking by the end of the first week after surgery.  BP was dropping and I was dizzy.  I was back on a diuretic about 6 months out and I'm still on it.  It is a pretty low dose and I'm o.k. with that.  I think that high BP can be caused by other things.  Mine seems to be borderline at times at the doctor's office, but still o.k. when I check it at home.  I'm not sure I'll stay off the other heavy duty meds.  I was on a beta blocker and ace inhibitor and combos for about 15 years before surgery.  I exercise a lot now and have a great resting heart rate.  Everyone is different.  Just keep an eye on it, keep exercising and see if you can lower any of it.

I was a year out and down a total of 166 lbs before I came off my BP meds. Everyone is different. Even skinny people have high blood pressure. Before I had come off of it, I had accepted that I was just going to be one that needed the med no matter what my weight was. Good luck to you.

I am three years out, down 148 pounds, and still taking my BP meds. Sorry...

I haven't taken them since the night before surgery. Mine wasn't high-high though.
