Nerve Damage
Today was my 3 month post op dr and dientician apt. I didnt weight myself for 2 weeks to see how much i would loose before i saw the dr. I am now 186.1 and BMI of 29.1.. !!! i was so excited. I started at when i started the program 310 and 46BMI. The nurse, dietician and dr were happy for me .
One of the main reasons why i was happy to be going to see the dr was because my legg numbnes. Lately they havent just been numb but sore and weak. I discussed with the dr and he said oh its your vitamins but they were all fine. I showed him my vitamins i take and he told me my multi vitamin wasnt good enough so i changed that. i was still worried because what if it gets worse. its already pretty bad and im getting worried about it. so he did a nerve test and he said my nerves are damaged but just to change my vitamins and get off the depo shot because it causes lack of estrogen and i already have lack of some minerals and that can cause the damage. he said if it continues that he will send me to some tests. i hope it dont.
On the brighter note. i am 3 months out, Got a new promotion, Got a new boyfriend, and BOUGHT A SIZE 12 DRESS! yes a dress. i never wear dresses. im so excited. life is great with rny. In it for life and living a new life.

hope your problems get resolved.
Wow that's alot of weight to lose in 3 months, I wonder about what your body has had to adjust to. I have never heard of anyone losing that much that fast. No one at the clinic thought that could be an issue? I would wonder about depo shot, so good you are off. Your body has had so much to adjust to.
Wonderful about wearing size 12, a new promotion and boyfriend, 3 Huge wows!
Just follow what the doctor says to do.
Hope all is well

I agree about taking a b complex vitamin
However, there may be other causes, so don't just see the post surgical team, see a specialist from your family doctor. Ie, get your family doctor a copy of the nerve test, then have your family doctor refer you to a leg specialist/neurologist.
Vitamin advice strikes me as really weak. There may be something else going on.
