arms and legs falling asleep

im about a month and a half out of RNY, everything seems to be going well, but I have noticed that my limps "fall asleep" a whole lot easier than they used to

is this common?  has this happened to any of you?

does it happen when you're awake or when you're asleep and wake up in the middle of the night with an "asleep" limb?

If it happens during the day, you might want to get your blood pressure checked out.

If it happens when 'you' are asleep, can't really tell you much... other than it's happened to me post-op as well.  Usually I'm sleeping on one of my arms, stomach down.  I've learned to just deal with it, doesn't happen terribly often to cause a concern.

Have you told your doctor about the problem?

I would worry about something metabolic if it is happening symmetrically. Talk to your doctor about drawing blood tests, e.g., a B12 level.

It's when I am awake.  Say if there is just a bit of pressure on my arms or legs.

An example would be, not to be too crass, but when im on the toilet.  The pressure to the back of my legs ends up making my legs "fall asleep" , if I move a bit it goes away just as fast as it comes, but before the surgery this did not happen as easily as it does now

i will call my dr

I am having the same issue. Talk about it with my PCP last week.. For me I get it in my arms depending on how much pressure Im putting on one. My legs are fall to sleep ALL THE TIME.. If I am sitting in an unusualy mannor, if I lay on my back lay on my stomach or if I am standing still for too long. Doctor thinks it might be just too much presure against my vanes in those areas of the body. But, I am going to see another doctor about the problem because it can be a sign of MANY other problems. Cardiac and cerculation, caners, and even a sign of back problems such as a slipped disc. So far they have ruled out cadiac only because I JUST had a complete physical a month ago. .. I will find out more next week. But, ask  your doctor.. YOU DO NOT WANT TO LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
