Question:
Anyone lost use of legs post-op

12 weeks after surgery I lost the use of my legs have now been unable to stand or walk for better than 4 months. Had back surgery that Dr. states due to my weight baratic surgeon states this problem was not related to my weight. So now I am in a wheel chair and in physical therpy. Anyone with a simliar problem?    — Ruby W. (posted on July 6, 2004)

Although it seems too soon, have you had labs done? Where are your various B-levels?

I was thinking the same thing as Michelle. My sister was much further out than you, years actually, and she lost the use of her legs due to severe anemia related to a b-12 deficiency. I've been very careful about watching my labs for this reason. When I start feeling weak I go to the doctor and have things checked out. Hope you find out what the problem is and it all works out.
