Help!!! my legs is numb



Recommended Posts

Ok so I notice last night that my right leg was getting numb:scared2: I would move my leg around or get up and walk it would go away for a little but then it would come right back :smile2: So I thought by this morning it would go away but it hasn't. It goes and comes but I have to be on my feet I can't sit or lay down. Has this happened to anyone? Should I be this worried? I think I will give my doctor a call. I am just scared because I am forever watching those shows and reading information on the internet which doesn't make it any better.

Thanks! :smile2: But I think you took that the wrong way I didn't mean for anyone on this website. I meant when I did a googel search the information that came up scared me even more. It's also good to talk to someone else that has or is going through the same situation you.

Personally I would go to the emergency room NOW. I woke up one morning and within minutes my right hand was numb long story short. I had a mini stroke and ended up at Mass General (top 3 neurology unit in the country) for week 3 days in ICU. I was 39.

I too would seek professional help soon, it could be from some injury to your back, and the nerve is getting damaged. Let us know how it goes. I dont think its related to the band.

Hi Bander, I was banded on the 13th and ever since i have had to go to the ER twice. First it was my right leg then my left, they did and ultrasound and found nothing, the second time they did the same thing and also found nothing! Please see a doctor as soon as possible. I don't mean to scare you but better safe than sorry. keep us posted hun :smile2:

HUGS!

I have a pinched nerve in my low back. It causes numbness in one of my legs and occasionally a deep burning, searing pain in my leg. It sucks but I'm hoping it will get better with treatment and weight loss.

Hey!

So the numb feeling I had in my right leg went away I guess the extra walking around did the trick B)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
