Can a man suffer from Preeclampsia after surgery to remove a gastric band?

Supervised by Itamar Medical

Answer

No. Preeclampsia is specifically PREGNANCY induced hypertension (or high blood pressure). Other symptoms that accompany the high blood pressure are proteinuria (protein in the urine) and swelling due to fluid shifts within the body. The only way to cure preeclampsia is by delivering the baby. So this is not a disorder that can affect men. Hope this helps!
