Hello, I had my gastric bypass on July 25, 2012. I was diabetic, High Blood Pressure and High Cholestrol...My Doctor never took me off anything but my low dose asperin prior to surgery. In the hospital, due to the meds & surgery there, my BS was high and I was getting Insulin shots. Prior to surgery I was on a medication called Victoza (a shot of medicine for diabetes) and 1000 Metformin, twice a day. Also my BP & HC meds. I left the hospital on 1000 mg of metformin...had to cut it in half, taken twice a day, continued my bp & hc meds. At my 2 week post op, Doc reduced my 1000 metformin to half a pill once a day (they'd rather you be high than low) and cut my bp med in half. I need to follow up with my Endocrinologist, which I have scheduled for the first of September, where I am hoping to reduce my meds even further. Both my Endo & Bariatric Surgeon believe I will be med free in 3 months post op and only taking vitamins for the rest of my life. I am on the road to success and everything seems to be falling into place.
