Well everything i've researched points to B-12, for the first thing to explore. I have not been taking vitamins after surgery (I KNOW thats not good, but I don't ever have the extra cash to spend on vitamins). But seeing as tho this problems isn't going away I went out and got a bottle of B-12 vitamins and hopefully the problem was a vitamin deficiency.

Does anyone experience this so far post op?? I often feel random numbness in my thighs and buttock. And sometimes even all over! Ill be laying in bed and my wife will go to hold me and I get a "pins and needles poking me" all over the area where she is holding me. Or I will go to scratch and area on my body and I can't feel myself scratching that area. Ex. Right now I'm itching to the left of my eye (the corner of where my two eye lids meet) and I cannot feel it. I am almost 2 years post op. Any help would be awesome. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with surgery, and I'm not sure who I should call. Thanks everyone.

like blend it in???...

The potential result in (almost) every surgery is Death...the common result from leakage is bloody stool/urine..i didn't eat a whole bucket of popcorn and it had no butter and no salt just plain popcorn. My surgeon said im healing 40% faster than the "normal" patient. My swelling was gone within a week and my incisions were healed within a little over a week. The normal heal time for the staple line is 4-6 months. Not a minimum of 6. I was on a "liquid" diet for the first week and then mush for 2 soft solids for 2 and then solids 2 weeks from soft diet. Also if anyone loves chili go to wendys and pick some up without cheese, then add your own fat free cheese. Puree if on mush. AMAZING!!!!!!!
