Does anyone know anything about developing neuropathy after bypass

Last evening at our support meeting, it was mentioned that bypass patients can develope neuropathy. I sleep on my stomach and I have actually had my arms fall asleep. My Dr said it must have been the way I sleep with my arms under me. But I recently had a TT, hernia repair, and implants and have had too sleep on my back for the last 6 1/2 weeks and when I lay my hands on my stomach sure enough they have been falling asleep. I've also noticed my legs fall asleep sometimes when I go to the restroom. Now I'm questioning all these occurances. Has anyone heard of any relationship between the 2?
