Tummy Tuck High Blood Pressure Afterwards?

Mine was 177/116 after surgery on the 2nd night at the after-care facility. The EMT's were called because my blood pressure was so high. I was carted off to the emergency room and spent 2 days hospitalized. Before the surgery, my normal blood pressure was 115/75 (or around that).
