Limbs falling asleep

Since the surgery I have noticed that my arms, hands legs, and feet keep falling "asleep" . Is this something vitamin related or what... any suggestions, comments? Thanks in advance... Dana

Mine do this all the time but it as nothing to do with the surgery. My hands are becaus of carple tunnel syndrome and my feet and legs are due to diabetic neurapathy. Check with your doctor. Neurapathy is one of the side effects of this surgery and if you are loosing sensation on a regular basis you should have it checked out. Regards and hugs, Ronna

uh oh.... i will call and check... thanks for the response! Dana

My first thought was low blood sugar. Dawn

With all the D@mn Candy I eat... Ick... somebody really needs to spank me for my lack of will power! Dana P.S. you are looking fantastic!

Are you sitting and holding your arms different now with the weightloss? I know driving the truck I have to wiggle alot more or my feet fall asleep, less padding and the blood gets cut off. This is one possible thing. I have noticed over all that things fall asleep less now because of the weightloss, like my arms, less fat to press against the blood vessels when I fold my arms.

It is usually associated with circulation. Make sure you are walking, and stretching, and don't sit or lay down in one position for long periods. Also my doc says make sure to take all vitamins, B-12 and Iron religiously. Mine is getting better.

DANA I was having leg cramps waking me up at night..My doctor says it is because i don't take my 1500 mgs of calcium every day like I was suppose to..Now I take them every day...SUZAN
