deleteme 176 Posted June 22, 2013 Does anyone else remember waking up with sore calf muscles? I feel like I did an amazing workout while I was under! I'm it is from the compression things. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heather316 72 Posted June 22, 2013 Your body may also lack Potassium and Magnesium (or even Calcium). I suggest to take an extra supplement of these. 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted June 23, 2013 After my surgery, I did have sore muscles and after watching the surgery done on Youtube, I understand why. The Drs spread your legs wide, so they can work from between your legs. If you're waking up with muscle cramps, I would have to agree with Potassium depletion, more fluids.

ShantelleElaine 39 Posted June 23, 2013 If the calf pain persists get it checked, could be a blood clot in your leg. I have one n it broke off n traveled to my lungs so I have blood clots all through my lungs, life threatening situation. I've been in the ICU. It's nothing to mess with.

Karenw - my legs were not spread open. In fact, my feet were pressed up against a foot board as the table is inclined a bit as the doctor works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
