What makes you think you are going to get heavier if you have this treated? Did they actually tell you this? In my case I lost the weight I gained and never gained it back. You are being treated to get back to a normal functioning system. My blood pressure was skyrocketed as well. It went back to low and normal and still is after 26 years. It felt good not to feel like crap, and that I wasn't going to die early from overstressed organs. It looks like you are trying to keep exercise as a lifestyle. Keep it that way. In the beginning maybe it might be hard to lose weight, if your blood pressure remains high for a while and you are prevented from exercising with the intensity that you want.
