Neuropathy and atrophy

[Ailly 32]

At three months post op I made a trip to the ER after three days of vomitting nonstop. Turned out to be sludge in my gallbladder. Six days bedridden and I am finally home but my legs and a portion of my stomach are completely numb and I can't bear weight on my left leg. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I go see my pcp tomorrow to get an MRI but I just want to know if anyone else has gone through this.

I guess not...

I have not had this, but I recall seeing a post by someone saying they had some neuropathy, and that this is a little known potential complication from WLS. Sorry, I can't remember who the poster was or more detail. Also, can't say that there is (or is not) validity to the post, but you might search and find it. Hope you feel better!

Apparently it's more common than we knew...a quick Google turned up this:
