Please let me know what your surgeon says. I just moved to South Florida from NYC and have yet to find one to question.

Yes I have that restless leg feeling to I'm told it happens when our body's detox. Not by a doctor just from people who think they know everything. Doctor says if it's to bad use children's Tylenol will help it to should pass. I hope soon

Good luck

I do as well, I'm about 6 weeks post op and right out of surgery I had numbness in my right hand and leg, which has moved to include tingling as well. I noticed that as I moved thru recovery, the swelling & Water subsided from these areas, but now that the swelling is all but gone, it's become very painful.

I bought an ace bandage for my foot, ankle & lower leg, I have it on now and it feels WONDERFUL & has caused the tingling to subside substantially...

My doctor told me today that the numbness on my legs it's cause by not taking Calcium. So I have to take my Vitamins, Iron & calcium. I had blood work done & I will update on there findings.

Just an idea but low potassium and magnisium can cause leg cramps or tingling, Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
