Sdunn1980 33 Posted March 1, 2014 I'm in South Jersey was sleeved 05/06/2013 in Atlantic city by Dr. Patel. He and his staff made me comfortable through the whole process. Down 80lbs , 10 more to go. Only negative to the surgery was I had to have my gull bladder removed 8 months post op. No biggie though. 1 fluffybottom729 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather Kyle 3 Posted March 1, 2014 Im in south jersey, Pemberton, but was sleeved in Old Bridge by Dr. Mehta on 9/17/13. Down 74lbs so far. Would love to hear some experiences of others. I've been on the site for awhile, mostly just reading up on others experiences, haven't posted much. Figured i would try to participate more might learn a little. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truth&Gutz 20 Posted March 3, 2014 I had the VSG in July and I have already lost 124 pounds.....all went so well....until, I felt a parathesia in October--went to ER in NYC....still have no feeling in my abdomen and inner portion of my thighs and legs....the worst part is now I have SEVERE and Intractable PAIN in my feet.....the neurologist did an EMG and a biopsy...all returned normal......the Vitamin level blookwork is also normal....no one know why this has happened....? In ready the mayo CLINIC and NIH website and journals......it seems that there are a small amount of people who have this issue...it might be related to a mal absorbtion issue......?The neurologist gave me neurontin...does not help.......anyoe else have these issues....?
