One week post op

Jul 18, 2012

YAY! To say I'm thrilled would be an understatement. This entire WLS journey began when the doctors couldn't get my blood pressure under control with med. I was 43 and already on 3 different medications for hypertension. Being that even when I was taking the pills my blood pressure was out of control, I started feeling like I was losing this battle. I started looking around at different options. The best option was weight loss surgery. 

Today, my decision was confirmed when I went to a post op appointment with my primary care doctor. First of all, he wasn't aware that I had already had the surgery. When he saw me, his face lit up. He said he could tell I had already dropped a lot of weight (35 pounds!) Then when he looked at my numbers, he was amazed, but concerned. He actually went out at got the blood pressure cuff to check for himself...TWICE! I'm no longer on meds! My blood pressure is normal! I was so excited when he told me. I told him I wanted to skip home!

Thrilled to see results like this so soon. Definitely worth all the pain!
