Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

How high does your BP get without your meds? It may be that the dosage needs to be adjusted, or your meds changed to a different type, and the symptoms will ease.

Wink Hmmm....

You'll definitely want to go to your surgeon and have your blood work done...
I didn't see if you've done that or not...but little by little your doc can rule out things....
I got that when I was low on B12....and every time I'm low on it....that is what happens for me.....

Check it out.....

This is a old post but none the less important. First thing are you still taking blood pressure meds? If so ask you surgeon about this. Or your family Dr. Most are taken off them before leaving the hosptial if not then soon after. This is somthing that is more common than you think. I still get it from time to time. The thing you have to remember is this....... When you get ready to stand or even sit up take a min to let your body catch up with you. Your blood pressure may be getting to low for sure for a few and needs to adjust it self. I still have trouble with this even upon waking up. I have to slowly sit up and sit there a min then when standing make sure im ok enough to make the walk to the bathroom. So take it slow. Im almost 2 years out and still have this problem from time to time.

Again if your on any blood pressure meds call your Dr and tell them what is going on so they might take you off or greatly reduce them. Remember this can happen to when you bend over and stand back up to fast so watch that also.
