Pay attention to any leg main (especially calf pain, though). If you get a fever, or legs are hot, or the pain continues, see your MD to rule out a potential clot. Unsure about your symptoms, though???

Hello, Ive been reading articles about this Im going to get labwork done. Neurologist thinks its a deficiency of copper, thiamine or some Vitamin. So I'll keep you posted. Everything else has been fine. Met my goal in under 6 months. :-)

Having severe Burning in my feet.....especially,when laying down or sitting......doctor said it is not related to missing Vitamins? Blood tests were o.k...seeing a Neurologist for an EMG study.......

In doing research to stay one step ahead for after surgery I came across this website on Vitamins after bariatric surgery. It explains symptoms of vitamins deficiency. Hope this helps you and a lot of other people with the very same symptoms now and in the future.

"Symptoms of thiamin deficiency include burning feet, neuropathy, and chronic vomiting. Treatment can involve patients taking B-50 complex Vitamins, 300 to 400 mg of total elemental magnesium for maximum thiamin absorption and appropriate neurological function, 20 to 30 mg/day of oral thiamin to address early symptoms of neuropathy, and 50 to 100 mg/day of thiamin administered intravenously or intramuscularly for more advanced signs of neuropathy or protracted vomiting."

This is from the website. Good luck all!

I am a neurologist who also just had a sleeve. Your symptoms are almost definitely due to a Vitamin deficiency.

Though you can get toxic (too much) on B6 which causes burning feet. Your neurologist needs to check B6, B12, B1, B12, Vitamin D.The thigh pain might be meuralgia parethestica (google it).
