Went to the rheumatologist Friday and he noticed that my fingertips were blue and for the past 2 weeks I've noticed numbness in my arms, lower legs and feet. Idk if I should be concerned or not. So many new things happening that idk whether it's normal or not

I have had numbness start in my feet & legs. Traveled to my lower pelvic area, them my arms. I freaked out went to my surgeon a d found out it was due to lack of potassium. He gave me prescription potassium. It's been 4 weeks and my legs are still slightly tingly.

Call your doc or nut.

Any change in sensation, motor function will usually be related to vitamin/ mineral deficiency. Bottom line see your Dr. And take Vitamins for life. Once imbalance is found, may take up to 2 months to return to normal.

I had similar symptoms and it was a potassium deficiency. I was told to eat 1/3 of a banana per day and drink G2 mixed with Water throughout the day. I've been doing that for 4 weeks and feel much, much better. No more tingles in my fingers and nose!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
