Medical issues

hi

 

I am not on the site a lot anymore as I am sooo busy.

 

But I said I would update anything that has to do with the VSG and here I am.

 

So,the burning and tingling sensation in my hands and feet seems to be peripheral neuropathy,ideopathic bu definetely caused by the surgery.We are doing extensive bloods at the moment to try and find some sort of deficiency.

 

This is nerve damage but the cause is still unknown.If it wasnt for the pain in my hands and feet at night I would not have been so franctic to find the cause but I qm suffering quite a bit.I am smoke free and my weight is between 158 and 163 but I am not really gaining or losing anymore.I would like to weight 154 but I am quite thin even at 160 so I am happy.

 

Well,I will post test results next week.Please pray for me as this is so scary.I feel if I have tight gloves on my hands and arms and my legs up to my knees as well.I know it is not life threatening but boy it drives you crazy as your arms and legs feel like they are asleep,just waking up.....lol.

 

Anyhoo,I am doing ok.Had a crazy crazy year and thank goodness I am thin.This made it possible for me to really cope with all that has happened and all the travelling I have had to do this year.

 

God is good,all the time!

Amen---I had some issues, and still do. I am 4 months out and 10 days post op I had a reaction to liquid hydrocodone. A really bad reaction and here I am about 4 months later still having reactions to all kinds of meds the last reaction was to Tylenol. I break out it bad hives and itch soooo bad. Anyway, I am having allergy testing on July 12th ---so I feel your pain. (never had allergic reaction in my life until now) On the good side I have lost 72 lbs and feel great other than the allergies.

Glad this is not life threatening - but I would want to know the cause too. If they find out what the cause is, please update us
