Guillain Barre Syndrome

I had my gastric surgery October 2006. I ended up with Guillain Barre syndrome end of December 2006. I was wondering if anyone else had any serious problems after their gastric surgery, or ended up with this syndrome.

I had to look up Guillain Barre syndrome , and the symptoms I am having are kind of simular to what was described. For the past 3 almost 4 weeks now, I've had unexplained leg pain in both of my shins and calves, but it's pain to the touch and a dull ache mostly all the time now., but the docs don't know what's causing it. I am seeing a new doctor on Weds, I am glad I saw your post, I can ask him about Guillain Barre syndrome . Thank you :)

 I wish you luck with your doctor appt. Keep me posted!!

Oh dear.  I know this all too well. However, my situation was a little different.  I developed GBS prior to my gastric bypass and unfortunately my GBS actually ended up being a chronic version called CIDP.   Feel free to email me offline if you have any questions regarding the disease/treatment etc... Would be curious to know if you are still having symptoms or if your symptoms have subsided at this point. Best of luck!!!   Hugs, Carla

Sue, It's interesting you mention this. My sister had gastric bypass and ended up not being able to walk and they diagnosed her with Guillian Barre also. I can give you her number if you want to call or her email.
