Any Jersey Sleevers?

[Patoonces 13]

Truth,

I am so sorry about your complications? My question is why would you have malabsorption with the sleeve since it isn't rerouting like a bypass? If you are eating the right things you should be getting the right amount of food, probably the amount were designed to get not the amount most of us eat?

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....?

Thanks so much......I feel as if someone is passing the buck......the neurologist said to return to the gastroenterologist..... and he said he does not feel that there is any mal absorbsion issues....I am taking the Vitamins and eating as best as I am able.....not sure if I should call and see the surgeon again ?The mayo Clinic and NIH studies do say that it is unusual to have these issues post VSG however and small percent of people do.....and it seems as if I have peripheral Neuropathy......thinking about consulting someone at Columbia Presbytarian in NYC or the Univ. of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia....it is so frustrating...the surgery went well......,,,thanks for the support...I have some MRI studies.....already found some bulging/herniated discs.... I have a thorasic MRI on wednesday to see if there are any more discs that are bulging or herniated....? After I had the surgery and started to lose the weight--I went to the gym and had a trainer help me....something might have happened there ?

Hi all! I'm from bergen county area. I was sleeved Feb 3rd. No issues so far. I've lost 30 pounds. Now I'd they could give me a labotomy to get through the mental part of wanting food that would be golden!

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.
