Is Gastric Surgery Recommended While Having High BP?

Hello, My name is Phyllis, and I am currently trying to decide on weather or not to have gastric surgery because I m over weight. I m very nervous because I have High Blood pressure and just became a diabetic. Are there any oral medications I can take instead of going through with the surgery that will help me lose the weight that are not harmful to my liver and addictive?

Hi,

I understand your concern and would agree with you on the fact that this procedure can lead to a lot of adverse effects, considering your past medical history. For this reason, I would recommend taking Garcinia Cambogia for a period of three months, and make some modifications to your lifestyle (consulting with a dietitian and performing a lot of physical activity).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
