I everyone. I have a tingly feeling in one leg. I called the doc and they told me to wait and see and if it got worse to go to the er. It's not worse but it's really uncomfortable. I had surgery on Wednesday, June 13. Anyone else ever have this?

I didn't have tingling in my leg but I did get groin pain and then my leg started swelling and turning red. I ended up with a couple blood clots. Just watch it carefully hopefully it's nothing. Not trying to scare you because yours could be something completely different.

I would just watch it VERY closely. If the feeling changes or gets worse definitely do something because blood clots can be life-threatening.

Yes, don't let it go too long. You have done the right thing in contacting the doc.

Thanks everyone. Just watching it now. I'm probably going to head to the doc tomorrow to be safe.

Ugh now I'm scared and can't sleep. The regrets of getting this are bothering me more and more.

Please don't regret having surgery. I am probably being alarmist but blood clots are not something to mess around with. I had a brutal headache for 2 days and never for a moment considered going to the hospital (over the weekend). Was'nt until day 3 when I woke up and my right arm was numb and my mouth was slanted that I knew something was desprately wrong.

It bothers me when surgeons brush off leg pain after surgery. Makes me wonder if they just don't want to go to the hospital to meet you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
