Circulation issues.

So I'm 5 and a half months post op, and I guess I thought by now my circulation would be improving. I workout quite a bit, and I have dropped a lot of weight, so I thought I would see at least some improvement in that area. I still lose circulation so easily in my legs and arms/fingers. If I'm playing on the floor with my son I still have to wait a few minutes to regain circulation before I can get up or I'll hurt myself. Do you think I should be concerned about this, or just give it time?

My circulation has actually gotten worse since losing the weight. My right calf and foot has been numb for a couple months. My primary care doc believes it's because rapid weight loss screwed up my spinal alignment and is pinching a nerve. I'm supposed to start seeing a chiropractor soon to correct it.

Sounds like me except its on my left side!!!  I'd feel really good if my back and neck didn't hurt!!!

Nooooooo!!! I'm hoping it helps with my circulation & rheumatoid arthritis. In fact, this is the main reason I'm having WLS. I thought that if I can get the weight off of my feet that they'd get better.

Good Luck to both of you, I hope you find some relief!!!

Boo, that sucks. Oh well, I guess I'll just deal with it for now. I will talk to my doctor about it if it gets worse.
