Wow...its been a year since I last posted.  I have lost 190 pounds since surgery.  The last year has been total hell.  I got really sick last december and was hospitalized from January 9th until September 20th of this year. I was diagnosed with polyneuropathy.  I lost the ability to walk .  My entire body was in pain.  I went a week with blindness and hearing loss.  The neuropathy caused numbness and tingling from my neck down.

Now I am getting better.  I am able to walk with a walker but I still have the numb/tingling feeling in my arms and legs.  Its the constant feeling of like when your foot falls asleep but it never goes away.  The dr's dont know if I will get full sensation back.
