Numbness and tingling

Has anyone been experiencing numbness and tingling in arms and legs after gastric sleeve

How long since your surgery? Are you moving about? Walking etc. Do you have low blood pressure?

It may be an idea to contact your surgeon/medical team to ensure everything is okay.

What did the ER say? You should call your surgeon again. And again, and again. As many times as you need until you get to the bottom of this.

What did the ER say? I never experienced this post-sleeve. That doesn't sound normal. Call your bariatric surgeon and try to get in to see him/her. How far post-op are you?

Yes! I did and it turned out to be B12 deficiency. I'm sure by now they've done bloodwork, but if they didn't check that, that's something to look at.

Typical symptoms include:

• Weak muscles
• Numb or tingling feeling in hands and feet
• Trouble walking
• Nausea
• Decreased appetite
• Weight loss
• Irritability
• Lack of energy or tiring easily (fatigue)
• Diarrhea
• Smooth and sore tongue
• Fast heart rate

I had tingling in my arms and legs, I fell a few times, I was tired and weak. I was irritable. I even got the sore tongue they mention!
