As a result of the blood pressure meds and additional diaretics that I was taking pre-op, I had a depletion of potassium. This was not due to WLS. I was given potassium IV in the hospital to correct this problem. At my 2 week visit to my Nutritionist, I mentioned tingling on my hands and arm and a mild tingling sensation inside of my mouth. I've been on potassium supplements every since, but hope that my next labs will show improvement.
I'd ask about your potassium level... just in case.
I know that our cases are very different, but better safe than sorry.
Hope that you feel better soon!
