thinnerS 15 Posted April 25, 2016 Vitamin B12 deficiency try to get the shots it absorbs quicker. Don't let it stay like that it can result in permanent nerve damage. WLS causes B12 deficiency I had the same thing happen to me. Or try the under the tongue tablets that rescue they sell it at Trader joes. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted April 25, 2016 If you remained morbidly obese - just think of the health consequences including premature death. However - at 22 years old you are also old enough to make your own decisions, research your options and educate yourself on the changes you need to make after WLS. You may not be experiencing a B12 deficiency ; there's a number of causes to tingling including dehydration or not getting enough Protein (to sleeping funny). . If you are not following your Drs and Nutritionist plan - there will be issues that arise - consequences of that decision. This surgery is what you make of it - you can let it ruin your life or you can make it improve and lengthen your life! It's up to you! At 350+ lbs at 22 years old - you were headed in the direction of ruining your life without WLS. Sorry to sound harsh - but you need to start looking at this a different way.
