Hey everyone ????

I have couple things Im going through and need some advice please.

I had my op 4th August 2015 and I've lost 6 stone now but the last month I've had numbness from bottom tummy going down to my legs and also real bad pains in my legs, also getting very dizzy and feel like I'm going to pass out!!

I've been to doc and I no my B12 is low and I'm having injections for it but my doc is brushing off everything else. I'm really concerned about all this as I really don't feel right.

Has anyone else had this? If so please talk to me

Xx

I have not had this but would definitely be concerned about a blood clot. If you are not comfortable with your doctor go to another one until you get answers.

That is not normal at all.

Check with your primary doctor so he can do some blood test. Probably you are anemic you are not absorbing all the nutrients.

I have the same things happening to me. After a lot of appoitments and ER trips I finally got a referral from my surgeon to meet with a neurologist. We did a bunch of tests (tilt table, blood tests, cardio tests etc) and have found that I have a peripheral nerve disorder along with becoming hypoglycemic.

My symptoms started pretty quickly after surgery. Luckily the pain I had in my legs has subsided but I still get very lightheaded/dizzy/disoriented. It makes it very hard to do the kind of workout I want to do because I can't really run or lift weights due to the dizziness. My neurologist has said this isn't uncommon for bariatric patients but for it to happen so soon after surgery is slightly concerning. My primary care people didn't really have any answers or path forward for me so I've been working with the neurologist mainly.

I would see if meeting with a neurologist is something you can do. Even bring it up to your surgeon if you can.

It's something I may have to deal with for the rest of my life but having a doctor that works with me, keeps me in the loop and really wants to help me has made this stressful and scary situation SO much easier.

If you have any questions or if I can clarify anything feel free to message me
