follow up with surgeon...

So last night i followed up with my surgeon for numbness on toes and fingers and our next try is a vitamin B12 shot which ill get tomorrow. HE is very happy with all my blood work even the B but will try this next to see if it helps. IF this isnt helping then im off to see a nerologist! THOUGHT I would share and as usual my surgeon is happy with my weight and looseing. I will go back to him in july on this topic! LISA xoxox 310/167/155?

Lisa, How bad is the numbness and tingling? Is it frequent and such? I had a michigan girl that had some problems with this and I can't remember exactly, but I think she had berry-berry. A lack of vitamin D or something. I will ask her, but let me know how you are. I will see what I can find out for you. Lots of love and You are doing GREAT with the weight loss. Wendy

Lisa, Well I sure hope that helps hun... ~Hugs~ I know my cuz has that as well and they could not find the source, finaly they said it was just from the quick weight loss and when you lay or lean on those nerves that it bothers them now but it should correct itself once the body adjusts.. Go figure..... Thanks for the update hun and as always keep us posted!!! Debra P

THANKS everyone! DEB interesting what they said about your cuz! WENDY....if you can get more details from that girl on the state board!!! I would say i get it very often every morning my fingers are very very numb and the toes flare up when ever i wear my sneakers and go walking so constant. thanks buddies! thats why i post to learn from others experience hugs lisa

Lisa, Yeah all other things checked out fine.....she even had a scare that it might have been MS but all was ok it that test! Thank God! All bloodwork came back great... They said your body changes and since there is not fat to protect these new nerves and muscles that we get these pains and numbness. I guess it makes sense but it is always good to have it check out just in case it is something! ~Hugs~ I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers hun... Debra P

((((lisa)))) i hope what they want to try helps you out. i hate going to see specialist, so hopefully it will be easily corrected with the supplements! of course your surgeon is happy! you have done so wonderful! when was the last time you could say "i want to lose 12 more lbs"??? 12 lbs to goal! you go girl! love ya!!!

I am sorry to hear you havent been feeling good. I hope everything checks out fine. I know how important our vitamins and water are, but I tend to slip a bit on that. I will have to make a more concious effort to get back on track. I feel great and dont want to start to have problems. B12 is the big one I forget to take..Let us know how things go..You are doing great, only 15 lbs till goal. You must be so happy with that.

Lisa~ Sorry to hear about the numbness. I hope that the b12 thing is all it is! I'll be praying for ya. And... congrats on your magnificent weight loss! I'm so excited for you~ it's awesome!!! Hugs, Kerri

Thanks for sharing Lisa! You have done great. I hope they figure out what is going on with you. I tell ya when my B12 dropped low, I felt so bad. Hope the shot worked for you!

Lisa, What was your B12 level? Mine was in the low 200's last time. I'll have bloodwork again for my year appointment. I'm hoping that it has gone up. Hopefully the shot will clear things up for you. HUGS! Dawn
