So I saw my renal doctor yesterday.. He was very impressed with my weight loss! My kidney function has improved slightly and I now have a sitting bp of 120/70! This is a huge thing for me I am normally 150/95 and on 2 different tablets! He also did the blood pressure standing and laying down! He thinks I have postural hypotension meaning my BP drops when I stand! YAHOOOOOOO this is exciting as its a clear sign that I need to reduce the meds!!! so he has halved one tablet but believes that I will be off it in 3 months if I keep loosing! Then the other tablet can start to be reduced! I walked out of there feeling like I'd won the lottery!

Just left a comment on your last post. Congrats on getting the BP down. That is my goal. Mine has been going down but I want to get off the drugs. Good incentive to get healthy before the baby making. Although you can still practice!
Wow - you are making huge progress in improving your health.
Money can't buy the gift you have given yourself and your future babies. You must be so proud of yourself!
Hear hear workinprogress I agree.
Well done x
