I am 3 months out and I have numbness in the lower half of my body and in my fingers. Is this normal or has anyone else done this?

That's not at all normal.  Better call the doc.

I slept in a funny position and my whole arm was numb.

First of all, you give us no information about your surgery.

secondly, this is an issue for your Doctor, not us! 

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

If youo'll put your surgery date and type on your profile, it will show up each time you post. Also, any info you feel comfortable in putting on your profile will also help us help you.

Any time you post a question, the more info you can give the more likely we are to be able to help you. Given what you've posted here, you need to call your doctor NOW.

I am not Karnak the Magnificent or an MD. More information is needed, and likely a doctor's appointment too.

I know nothing about you or your medical condition, so I'm going to take a wild guess: your body is full of alien parasites and you're going to melt into a puddle of Martian spores and be dead by Tuesday.

Or! You could speak to a medical professional and get a diagnosis that's less grim ;)

My NUT told me if I experience numbness and tingling in my arms and legs to up my B12 which has helped me.  But talk to your doctor first!
