All the best in your quest. |
Which surgery are you having? If you're having the RNY aka gastric bypass then chances are that your diabetes & hypertension WILL be reversed. My diabetes was reversed nearly immediately after surgery and I stopped taking my Metformin the day before surgery and have not needed to go back on it. I wasn't even gestational diabetic during my two post op pregnancies. As for my hypertension medication, I was weaned off of it by like 5-6 months post op and didn't need it again until I was 2 years 3 months post op. For some reason even at goal my hypertension returned. The good news is that it's VERY easily controlled now as opposed to 3 pills/day with bp readings still in the 150-160s/90s. I now sit with readings (on my meds of course) in the 110-120/70s. GL in your journey to health!
