I Have a Question?

I am 7 weeks out from my RNY revision , and starting 2 weeks ago my hands and feet have been getting tingly and go to sleep all the time, the hands are the worse. I''ve never had this before. Could it  berelated to the surgery, maybe nutritional deficiency?  It sounds stupid to me, but it does it all the time, even if i clap my hands they tingle.  Does anyone have this problem or know what could be causing this? Thanks for your time and help.

Wow, I am afraid I don't know an answer for that one. You may want to call your doctors office on Monday and ask them.  I am sure others will see your post and have some answers for you.  Hopefully it will go away soon.  I did think of carpal tunnel but that would not explain it happening in your feet.

I really don't think that surgery two weeks ago is going to cause problems like this.  Usually your hands and feet that are going numb can be something with your spine, swelling somewhere.  Are you in bed longer than normal maybe.  What is happening different nows than before?  Also, you need to call your doctor tomorrow, no matter.  Keep in touch and let us know what happens.

Have you checked your blood sugar?  It is possible that your blood glucose has dropped dramaticaly from the lesser amount of carbs and calories...even if you were not diabetic before WLS. Tingling can occur because of this, I expereince it all the time.  It is easy enough to check, you can buy a blood testing kit at your local drug store without a prescription.  If you go to Urgent Care, they will do it for you.  Be sure to contact your doctor regarding this situation.  Tingling is not abnormal but can be remedied.

Thanks for the info Kim, and I took your advice and took my blood sugar which was 73, and i just finished eating. I did have high blood pressure, and diabetes type 2 before surgery, but not now. I was suprised to see me blood sugar was so low.  Also I am having a hard time getting in my vitamins in and I haven't been taking my b12's regulary. So it makes me concerned maybe it might be from not getting enough nutrition.  I just know the tingling is very annoying. I want to thank everyone who have responded and gave me info and advice. Thats what I love about this place there always seems to be so many people that care. I thank you!

I would suggest having your B12 levels run. Start taking some extra sublinguals ....

B-1 or B-12...Most doctors now would like to see most RNY patients take a B-Complex pill.  I just remember that the tingly of the hands and feet was a B problem and needs to be addressed very quickly.  Brian
